My interest in graphic design began during the MySpace era, when it was cool to customize your profile by using Photoshop to create fun banners and using HTML to make it rain digital hearts. I started designing and coding different profile themes and posted them for others to use.

When the MySpace era ended, I shifted my design skills to advertising design classes that I took in my senior year of high school. During this time I began to pick up photography, and my interest in visual arts only continued to grow. Eventually, I went to college and began studying to be a graphic designer. It was there taking my art basics that I found out that I was not gifted in traditional mediums. While my ability to use charcoal and conte crayons was mediocre at best, my command of Photoshop and HTML continued to grow. I also began taking marketing classes to learn more about the strategic side of advertising.

Fast forward to college graduation where I was launched into a workforce where graphic designers had to work from the bottom up. My work experience started with a part-time, unpaid internship with financial support from working part-time as a server. Eventually, I moved up to a low-paying job at a boutique advertising agency working as a social media manager and photography assistant. Then I found my way into luxury real estate working with a Sotheby's real estate affiliate and that's where I got most of my work experience. Now I can create almost anything from trifolds and postcards to magazine spreads and e-mail campaigns.
