About

I recently graduated from University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts with an emphasis of Graphic Design and a minor in Visual Communications and Marketing. I got my Associate of Science from Highland Community College. My interests are graphic design, photography, fashion, and beauty. I particularly enjoy creating ads and logos. My photography is heavily based on landscape photos. I like going outside and using my camera to see the world from a different point of view. I like fashion because it allows me to express myself in many different ways. To me beauty is considered an art. Doing my makeup is like starting out with a blank canvas and having endless opportunities on which direction I can go.
