Hi, I’m Sarid Soto, a passionate and innovative art educator and designer. I love creating inspiring environments where creativity and self-confidence can flourish, especially for young children. With my experience in both teaching and graphic design, I strive to combine education and art in engaging ways that support children’s growth and learning.
I have worked on a variety of projects ranging from mural painting to illustrating children’s books and designing logos, posters, and advertising materials. I’m always excited to bring fresh ideas and a unique artistic touch to everything I create.
