I. Am. A. Dreamer. A Creative, from my head to my toes.
I. Am. A. Dreamer. A Creative, from my head to my toes. From the very beginning, I was interested in the arts. My love of animated movies, (especially ones synchronized to music) at an early age cemented my passion for visual arts. My initial career dreams from 5 years old to my teens were to become an animator for Disney. While my dreams were not squashed by any means, the innovator in me saw the animation studios move into the digital arts. Going to college during this transitional time changed my perspective to focus on design and marketing. I then had a set path and ambition to pursue a technical degree in graphic design.
After two years in a highly competitive program in fine arts, design, and business, I received my A.A.S. degree. I started an internship immediately after graduation. Interning was so fulfilling not only due to the design work, but additionally because I shared company values in environmental impact and sustainability. Ideally aligning my career with businesses that share these same beliefs is key. Respecting our world and its beauty is vital for us all.
Being creative is my lifeblood. I have the desire to convey a message or a feeling - and how I can interpret that in a visually appealing way satisfies a deep need within me. I try to see the beauty in every day. I find nature to be the purest muse. Drawing inspiration from all that my eyes, ears, and mind consume.
Most of my career has focused on marketing and design for business. While I love to be a part of the advertising world, I have found a passion for community-based pursuits. This passion lead to direct skills in event coordinating and using my design background for marketing such events. Being a part of a non-profit, youth arts, and/or city art projects where events and fine arts come together is my ultimate dream.
Art is everywhere, and whether it is created with the latest technology or with the simplest of tools as a pencil, I want to be a part of it. I have to be!
