About Design Work

A portrait of the designer. Design has been a passion of mine for several years, going back into my time in high school. I worked on a variety of design projects for myself as a content creator, making several logos and stream backgrounds as my skill grew.
As I made my way through college, I learned about new programs, strategies, and methods that I never would have learned on my own. Today, I continue seeking to grow and learn new skills.
