Building
_________________________________________________________________________________________
If you want to build a future, you have to know what that future needs.
A lot of determination and willpower goes into what you need to get done first. I knew that it would be a huge commitment to start down this path of the starving artist brigade. It would lead to debt in pursuing higher education after high school. It was a challenge to say the least. But a rewarding one after.
I attended Bergen Community College for two years for an Associate Degree in Arts and transferred to New Jersey City University for my Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. I achieved this milestone with determination and vigorous passion to build my worth, with the mindset of:
You learn how to build new things along the way
Connecting
_________________________________________________________________________________________
My second most challenging part of pursuing higher education is connecting with others.
Being surrounded by talented artists opened up a great opportunity for me to learn the art of networking. As such there was a comradeship, a mutual position to aid in building our repertoire together. As fellow students our end goal was and still is the same; which is to join the workforce and work in what we are passionate about.
I believe people are walking stories
For example, there’s a version of your story out there in someone else’s life, it’s just told differently. Designed differently. I love learning from others via their stories because I believe that it is how the world can connect and understand one another’s paths. And that’s exciting!

I love to aid up-n-coming businesses
Particularly family owned mom-n-pop boutique shops. Community businesses are the best place to help bring attention to humble hard working businesses that get overlooked.
I thrive at aiding family/friendly businesses that cater to their target audience with the client’s best interest in mind. To me, nothing is more rewarding than doing by the client a justice to their vision and standards.
