I was first introduced to graphic design through a program at my high school, and since then my passion for design has only grown. I decided to pursue a career in design after that initial experience. Today, I have found a love for branding, identity systems, and communication. 

I have worked on a variety of projects that have allowed me to adapt to and learn about various audiences, locations, and contexts. One of the aspects that I love about being a designer is getting the opportunity to be a lifelong learner. Whether that is learning new design skills or learning more through my research when starting a project, I have always enjoyed that about design. There are always opportunities to challenge yourself with a new project.

Another aspect of design that I enjoy is the chance to work with a variety of different people. I pride myself on my flexibility as a graphic designer and my ability to work with anyone is very important to me. And finally, problem-solving. Often, I view design projects as a puzzle except I get to design the pieces that make up the final solution. These three aspects of design have shaped who I am as a professional. They have also brought me satisfaction from my work, which has kept me going down this design career path.
