I've been sketching and painting since I was 5 years old, taking art classes even during summer school. After earning an Associate in Visual Communications from The Art Institute of Houston, I merged traditional drawing with digital tools to create vector graphics using Adobe Illustrator. Currently, I freelance for startups and local businesses, crafting brands, logos, business cards, vehicle art, apparel, and decor-friendly awareness art. I enjoy creating merch for many music bands, concerts and local events. I am currently designing t-shirts and signs for two clients wanting to open up a T-shirt online store.
