About


About me
I have been passionate about art my entire life and nothing makes me happier than to take on exciting projects while listening to good music and drinking hot tea. I love to incorporate magic and fantasy into my art and designs often in the form of surrealism and vibrant colors. Besides art, I love animals, nature, video games, and rock climbing. My goal is to find a path that will allow me to combine my passion for art with my career aspirations.
Qualifications
My lifelong artistic inclination has pushed me to work hard to develop my style and hone my technical abilities. I have a strong understanding of the principles of art, the elements of design, and color theory. My education focused on graphic design, which has granted me a unique understanding of the practical applications of design, typography, and a proficiency in digital media that I can apply to any projects I take on. My experience with commissioned art has influenced my ability to meet the needs of clients, adapt to criticism, and manage my time effectively. Working in the healthcare and customer service industries has developed strong interpersonal skills, enabling me to effectively manage challenging situations and interact professionally with individuals in demanding circumstances. I am creative, extremely detail-oriented, and hardworking and I would thrive in a career that offers the opportunity to apply my skill set in creative ways.
