Growing up, I felt disconnected from art and drawing. I believed to be an artist required hand drawn skills, so I pursued computer science instead. However, in my first week of Intro to Computer Science at Clark University, I dropped the class, unsure of what to do next. Thankfully, my advisor guided me toward other options, leading to a life changing moment.

I enrolled in an entrepreneurship class where my group started a cleaning service on campus. This is where I created my first logo, and completely shifted my future. I took more design classes at Clark, and started my own poster business selling 60+ posters to students. These positive experiences built the foundation for my career, and made me eager to continue learning, thinking, and exploring my design journey.
