ARCADIA, CA
I've grown up loving art, english and music. I recently became interested in Graphic Design and hope to pursue it as a career in the near future. I have really developed during my high school years, from being shy and soft spoken, to finally becoming an independent, outgoing leader. I love the advertising side of Graphic Design so I plan to major in Graphic Design/Communications &/or Advertising. I enjoy working with people and am interested in sharing my artwork with the rest of the world.
