MY STORY
WHO I AM
Brooklyn born and raised I've always had a passion for art. I'm an aspiring children's book author, who loves to read and draw. I work as an freelance illustrator for hire, writer and freelance graphic designer as well as a full time cashier. I create new and wonderful work everyday so you'll always find something fresh and exciting!
WHAT I'VE DONE
In high school I began to take classes and consider art as a possible profession. I went to the Art Institute to study graphic design and earned my associates degree in the field. From there I went on to hold an internship with Shaffali Skincare (2012) and another with the Young Designers Collective (2013). I've been freelancing since 2014.
WHAT I DO
I do what I love. I find drawing, designing, writing and creating to be the best way to live. Of course it's not all fun and games. I work hard to reach my deadlines, think outside of the box and always aim to please. The work I do isn't just about making things look nice, it's about finding the right way to tell our stories.
