ABOUT
I graduated from Washington State University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities in two concentrations, Fine Art and Anthropology. Studying Fine Art providing me with 3 years of experience in digital imaging, graphic design, typography, screen printing, and drawing, This was where I discovered a love for creating and taking projects from concept to tangible product. Studying Anthropology has allowed me to pursue my passion for learning by studying different cultures, past and present. It's exciting to incorporate these observations into my work to show my appreciation for individuality. I am currently working as a full-time freelance artist, managing and creating personal artwork for multiple online shops.
