I'm a Graphic Designer currently living in Maine with my husband and our dog. Ever since I was seven years old art has been my passion. I took art lessons at a young age and continued to draw and paint throughout my life. Learning these skills at a young age taught me a lot about composition and color. As an adult my goal is to turn my love of art into a career. Graphic Design gives me the ability to create work that I'm passionate about and the opportunity to have a career that I love. Every day I'm learning new skills and I will continue to learn so that I can always be up to date with the newest trends and software.
