About me
Hello!
​I am a Graphic Designer based in SoCal. I discovered my interest in graphic design in a computer class in the 7th grade where they taught us how to use Adobe Suite. I had always loved art but that computer class had opened up new doors for me. I continued taking traditional art classes throughout high school which allowed me to expand more on my skills in art & design.​
This passion for design led me to choose Bradley University to pursue my BFA in Graphic Design. At Bradley, I have had many opportunities to exercise my skills in graphic design such as designing posters and flyers for the Activities Council Bradley University(ACBU) and K18 Dance Club.​
Some of my hobbies consist of playing calm farming games, painting, playing sports(sometimes), and self-taught dance.​
​
BEHIND THE BRAND:​
The idea of griz.artz came from one of my dance teammates giving me the nickname Griz. As for the logo, this small idea of a bear-related nickname along with signing my name with a lowercase g and san serif lowercase g's having an ear is what led me to create my lowercase g bear logo!
