I started learning graphic design as a freshman in high school. I loved being able to sit at a computer and play with different fonts, colors, and objects. I started learning more advanced techniques by cutting out magazine clippings of ads and graphics I liked and recreating them in my free time.
After high school, I began working in marketing for a company selling Facebook and google advertising. I started out cold calling business and selling ad space to them, and while working there, I taught myself how to create the ads, how targeting works, and basically the ins and outs of social media marketing. All 3 jobs I have held since then have been in a marketing or event coordination position.
In 2015, I started my own Etsy shop selling printable invitations, wall art, and business templates, and designing and selling tshirts. I love being able to take a client's ideas, put my own stamp on it, and create something for their business or idea that they will love!
