Biography
I'm a dedicated artist, designer, and web aficionado with a deep-seated love for creativity and innovation. My journey in the design world has been fueled by a constant desire to learn and explore new avenues. With a background in digital art and graphic design from George Mason University, I've honed my skills in various design disciplines, from web development to social media content creation. My work is characterized by a keen attention to detail, adaptability, and a commitment to delivering visually engaging and functional designs. Whether I'm redesigning websites for high-profile clients or crafting bespoke digital graphics, my goal is to provide solutions that not only look great but also solve real-world problems.
When I'm not designing websites or creating logos, I enjoy game design and a crazy crafter.
