I've always been an artist. Finding joy in painting with my grandfather is one of my favorite early memories. Approaching college, I knew that I wanted to pursue an education in fine arts, and chose graphic design not really knowing all that graphic design encompassed. I found it was much more rigid than the art I grew up loving, but I embraced the challenge. Drawing and painting were skills that came easily to me because I had been introduced to that language at a young age. I had not even heard the word, "typography" prior to my college career. It was a challenging first couple of years, but I've developed a love for this craft and look forward to the challenge that awaits.
