My creative journey began as a little girl and was nurtured by my amazing and supportive parents. Crayons were my first medium at age three, and my first official piece, “My Mommy,” was displayed in a preschool gallery. Throughout my childhood years, my mom enrolled me in art lessons and found local competitions for me to share my work, while my dad (a professional graphic designer) introduced me to the incredible world of graphic design. The encouragement, resources, education, and access they provided helped deepen the love for creating that I still carry to this day!

By age 13, I decided to put together a makeshift graphic design portfolio and applied to an online creative agency. After being accepted, I began designing branding for businesses. While most kids had a lemonade stand, I had the Adobe Creative Suite! That “early hustle” taught me how to work with real-world projects and clients, eventually earning the highest level of recognition as a Top Level Designer in their program.
