I am a recently graduated multidisciplinary artist specializing in digital art, fine arts (drawing and illustration), photography, and creative direction. I am passionate about exploring different creative avenues and love bringing ideas to life through both digital and traditional techniques. I’m naturally a collaborative, team-oriented person who enjoys exchanging ideas, solving problems together, and learning from the people around me. I value growth—in my work and in myself—and I truly believe that one should never stop evolving. Friends and collaborators often describe me as bubbly, personable, and hardworking. I approach life and art with excitement and curiosity, and I’m always looking toward the future with enthusiasm. With experience across a wide range of creative practices, I like to think of myself as a bit of a “renaissance woman.” While I primarily use digital tools, I stay connected to traditional drawing through illustration on my iPad, blending my foundation in 2D art with the possibilities of digital creation.
