Her passion pushes her and her ambition allows for constant steady growth. In addition to her graphic work, she loves to explore and work with numerous mediums of art.

What first sparked your interest in graphic design?

I felt it would fuel my very purpose in life, love at first sight really.

Who are your biggest creative influences?

The Creator Himself is my ultimate source of inspiration.

Tell us about a design project you’re most proud of. What made it special?

I once had a whole semester to create an app called AIO Fitness (an All In One health and fitness app). From start to finish, I personally conceptualized, researched, designed, and created a working prototype.

What does “good design” mean to you?

Three things must be checked, the client must be satisfied, the intent must be clearly made to the target audience, and it has to be visually pleasing.

What trends in graphic design excite you – or concern you – the most?

Honestly, AI is a hot topic right now. However, I know that I will never have to fear for my job because I know with full certainty that AI will never be able to replicate what I create.
