“If my soul were a painting, it would be of the warm glow of the setting sun through trees that are alive with vibrant reds, yellows, oranges, browns and greens, reflected bokeh everywhere, a breeze of crisp, fresh air, and the warmth of the sun shining on my face.”

I take great pride in being an Immersion Certified Designer. This credential is earned through completing the rigorous Surface Design Immersion Course by Bonnie Christine, followed by a professional review process that includes a comprehensive exam and client-ready design project in Adobe Illustrator.
