Before getting into graphic design, I always loved to create, but as I gained I did not want to create works for the sake of creating works. I wanted to create art for a purpose. Graphic design gave me the avenue and direction to create something that is purposeful. Like most graphic designers, I am a generalist, meaning I don't have a specific specialty. I dabble in all forms of design, including typography, branding, Illustration, and editorial design. Although I work in all of these forms of design, I enjoy branding and marketing. The idea of creating purposeful and impactful items for a business or company is something I have a calling to do Like branding, I also enjoy illustration. Illustration gives me the ability to be more creative, yet be purposeful. Design gives me the opportunity to create for a cause. Not only just create, but create appropriately and impactfully. Getting the opportunity to provide a creative hand to someone is what drives me to be a designer.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
