About

Hi! I'm Lily. Growing up, I had many interests and was easily influenced. Every year when my teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I always had a different response. The one interest that stayed consistent with me was art. I loved to imagine and create new things, I loved DIYs, anything related to being creative, I gravitated towards. My life journey has not been smooth sailings, and during my low points when I had no one to talk to, I spoke through my designs. I love stories. I believe that everything has a story, a reason/meaning for existing. In my designs, I love to incorporate symbolism and be able to connect my clients to my designs. I do this by doing outside research and gathering further information on the prompt before I begin brainstorming. For example, you want a T-shirt design for your sorority? I'm going to research your sorority's colors, mascot, history, etc. and incorporate that into your design so that it feels much more personal to you. When it comes to design, I love designing for everything; food packaging, beauty packaging, publication layouts, clothing, websites, you name it. Because I have many passions, I do my best to keep my skills up to date and allow myself to constantly be learning to become a well rounded person in my field. Feel free to reach out and contact me for any comments or questions. Let's connect!
