Artist Statement
As a designer, I enjoy learning new things and solving difficult problems by listening to others’ needs and paying close attention to detail. Design is most successful when it is functional, intuitive, and focused. When I begin on a new project or creative process, I find it is essential to visualize the target market anticipate their needs and determine how the project may benefit them. Creating high-quality work, both aesthetically and conceptually is a priority to me, as design has the power to enhance daily life, encourage productivity, and build relationships between its viewers.
