Artist Statement
Ever since I was little, I have been drawn to art and design. For me, it is important to have an avenue to communicate in a visual manner and create connections. As a designer, I am focused on creating clean and engaging designs to help others spread their messages and work. Inspiration can be found everywhere in my life, from friends, pets, school, family, to where I live. In the Graphic Design program, we have been able to explore many different areas of design, including print, which has stood out to me. For this project, I explored aspects of design that were both inside and outside of my comfort zone. I wanted to create something that would challenge myself and my skills as a designer.
