Artist turned Graphic Designer.

Growing up, my passion for painting and drawing was nurtured from a young age. Experimenting with colors, shapes, and various artistic techniques, gradually honing my skills and developing a deep appreciation for visual aesthetics. As I matured, I recognized the potential of my artistic abilities and decided to channel them into a career as a graphic designer.

My background in painting and drawing provided me with a strong foundation in fundamental artistic principles, such as composition, color theory, and visual storytelling. These skills seamlessly transferred to my work as a graphic designer, allowing me to create compelling designs for

a wide range of projects.

Over the years, I continued to refine my skills through formal education, side hustles and moving my way through roles from Graphic Design Intern to Senior Graphic Designer. This journey of creative growth has empowered me to communicate effectively through visuals, whether it's designing logos, images, or marketing materials. My unique perspective as an artist has enabled me to approach design challenges with a fresh and innovative mindset, ultimately helping me to succeed as a graphic designer.
