Born in the western suburbs of Chicago, from a young age my mother fostered my creativity so that it would grow into the passion I have for my work now. I have been drawing comics and illustrations for my whole life and it wasn't until arriving at The University of Illinois at Chicago that I discovered my love of Graphic Design, as well as a little hobby of mine in stop motion animation. I am a hardworking individual who doesn't give up easily and likes to see things all the way through. This work ethic can sometimes be detrimental to myself but all in the pursuit of creative brilliance! Now with a new love for graphic design within me, I am ready to take on any challenge in my new career.
