It was unavoidable, I was meant to be a creative… As a kid, imaginative and inquisitive were the main adjectives used to describe my personality - also tossed on that list were goofy, headstrong and sometimes adventurous. I forced my sister to play Barbies, build Lego communities and reenact scenes from Jurassic Park. I always needed to know "Why?"! My dad is a cartoonist who has the endurance to write in extremely straight lines (without the help of lined paper or a ruler) and as I was growing up I needed, and wanted, to do what he did. Picking up his writing precision didn't happen, but after watching and mimicking his drawing techniques I acquired the ability to look at the world through a different lens. Learning his trade prioritized the importance of observation and detail. This creative world was calling me as child and hasn’t stopped talking!Fast forward lots of years and my passion for the creative space is as strong as ever. I’ve been a designer for over 14 years and have worn various hats within the design universe and, of course, I don’t want to stop there. With over a decade dedicated to designing in the retail environment, I’m ready to face new challenges, study new mediums and further expand the breadth of my creativity. Change is good and I am excited to explore ways I can continuously contribute!
