In working as a freelance artist (through my online business and handle as KaztielKrafts), I have had the privilege of working with clients who have provided the feedback that the piece of art I created for them was perfect for their needs. This reiterates to me how important art is in our lives, especially in connecting to the world. My passion for art, my love of functional items, the desire to create things that help express not only my passions but others' passions and identities, my love of font, and my fondness for creating and showcasing art allows me to connect to clients to create the work they are seeking. Formally trained as a graphic artist with an emphasis on 2D print work, I have applied those skills to various endeavors in digital print and other artistic mediums.
