Abstract

The artist's statement: As a graphic designer, I strongly believe in making art for a purpose. I want people to be able to utilize my creative work. Within the body of my work, I tend to use a lot of bold colors, simple layouts, and illustrations. I create a lot of my own illustrations using different mediums, including spray paint, colored pencils, and photography. A lot of the creative pieces I design are requested by a client, so I do not always have the freedom to create whatever I want, although, I am always incorporating my own style into the work. I have had a lot of experience in the graphic design field with my job at the Colorado Water Institute as the art director and designer; my internship at Perfect Square as a graphic artist; my position as a marketing associate at Grand Valley Powersports; and as a graphic designer at Trailfitters. In addition to my BFA with a concentration in graphic design, I have simultaneously completed a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing. With these two degrees and my previous experience, I intend to continue designing creative pieces that will be purposeful in society.
