After quitting school for biology, I met someone who inspired me to pursue art as a career. At the time, I had considered enrolling in graphic design, but I had no experience with any digital art other than a failed attempt at digital painting with a cheap Wacom tablet. My friend sat me down with illustrator for the first time, showed me how to use the pen tool and the image trace tool, and challenged me to draft some logos for a coffee truck concept he'd come up with. I've come quite a long way on my design journey since then.
