I LOVE art- painting, drawing, designing, sketching...you name it. I want to be a graphic designer because it incorporates everything I love about art with the real world and can be seen everywhere you go. Plus, I would absolutely love showing the world what I envision through my designs. I can not wait to move on to college and start accomplishing all of my dreams :)
