These bubbles represent reflection and uncertainty. As I complete this chapter of my life and begin a new one, I reflect on my past experiences and relationships and how they have all brought me to where I am now. The uncertainty of what the future might bring is scary, but I am eager to see what new and exciting opportunities lie ahead.
I’ve been an artist my whole life, all the way back to when I would use up the pink crayons in the crayon box as a little kid. I knew I wanted to pursue art but I didn’t want to study fine arts, I was always drawn to patterns, typography, and minimalist pieces. My art academy director encouraged me to look into graphic design and since that day, my mind was set. The more I learned and saw graphic design in the world, the more I wanted to be a part of it.
A dream project would be to brand, design, and decorate my own cafe.
My family and friends who have always supported my journey as a graphic designer. They have helped me grow and step out of my comfort zones as a designer to push my creativity further and to try new things.
