I turn to creativity as an outlet and love expressing myself through the art of visual communication and design. As a graphic designer and illustrator, I communicate and evoke strong emotions within my work, particularly focusing on positivity. I create designs that build a positive impact by being fun and playful, or simply just visually pleasing and comforting, as I feel it reflects my own personality while also uplifting the viewers of my work. I also have a deep love and connection towards characters and character art. I feel as though they are an excellent creative vessel for everything from storytelling to emulating emotion which is why I enjoy incorporating expressive, lovable characters into a majority of the designs and illustrations that I create. Although I have my own personal style and creative direction when it comes to my work, I never limit myself to them as I am always eagerly looking for new ways to grow as a designer and illustrator by experiencing new ideas and perspectives. I enjoy applying my creativity, style, and personality to the work I create while also being inspired by the other creatives around me whether that includes clients, collaborators, or brands I have the opportunity to create with.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
