Biography
~~~~Background~~~~

I’m a 28-year-old female born and raised in San Diego. I left for San Francisco to pursue a degree in Advertising at the Academy of Art University. I lived in the city for two years until I returned to San Diego and finished my degree at the Art Institute of California-San Diego.



~~~~How I got in the Creative field~~~~

Ever since I can remember I was very artistic. I have always been attracted to the arts and fascinated with the psychology of design and layout. As a child I never knew I could make a career out of this. I'm very fortunate to be doing something I use to call a hobby



~~~~My favorite part about being a creative problem solver~~~~

I love the creative process because it allows me to look for inspiration; sometimes I use it as an excuse to go try something new for the sake of research. I believe as an artist you observe and experiment with everything and anything without judgment because you never know when you’re going to use that for inspiration.



~~~~Working with clients~~~~

I take pride in the work I do and making sure clients are satisfied with my design or idea. I think the quality of work produced really depends on the relationship you have with a client. There has to be an understanding and respect for one another.
