Taking a digital design course my senior year of high school changed my life forever.My passion for the arts began at a very young age. I got involved in show choir and theater in junior high, and my love for those drove me to explore other creative outlets. I took drawing and painting classes, and although the things I made in my early stages may not have been fridge magnet worthy, being creative felt like home to me. As I progressed in my high school career, makeup began to pique my interest. There was only one problem; I had never worn it before and had absolutely no idea what to look for. Without guidance from someone who used makeup, I found myself simply grabbing makeup with packaging that caught my attention, without knowing if the product itself was any good or not. At the time, I had no idea how much that mindset would impact my future.As I reached my last year of high school, I had no idea what I really wanted for my future, I just knew I wanted to take as many creative courses as possible. Taking a digital art course was the first time I ever truly started to make the connection in my brain that I could be able to use my passion in my future career. Seeing what I could create using Adobe programs made me wonder if one day I could be the one creating the packaging for products that grab your attention and make you want to purchase them simply for how good they look. This sparked the flame of my love for Graphic Design. Little did I know that flame would just grow bigger and brighter the more I learned about all of the possibilities in the world of design.I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Keene State College with a BFA in Graphic Design. Organization and communication are two of my strongest attributes. I work well both in an individual and group setting, and I am seeking a full-time Graphic Design position.
