Hi, I'm Mace! I'm currently a Texas State student working towards my BFA in graphic design, with a minor in creative writing. I've gained some great hands-on experience running my own business and working with small companies while making the dean's list. I really enjoy communicating ideas clearly and stepping up when the moment calls for it. When I'm not studying or working, you can find me around the rivers of San Marcos, planning my next big creative project. I love blending creativity with organization and have experience in graphic design, social media, and customer service roles. I enjoy being part of a team and contributing where I can, always eager to learn something new and take on challenges. My passion lies in visual storytelling and connecting with people through art and design.
