what's up?
Born and raised in the Bay Area. I lived in Castro Valley for most of my life, spent a handful of years in Oakland off and on, and have now been in Walnut Creek for the last few.
I graduated from California State University East Bay, where I earned my Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree in Art, Graphic Design with highest honors.
For as long as I can remember, design has played a significant role in my life as a form of self-expression. From customizing the layouts and html/css of my early social media profiles, to studying different typefaces for fun, to painting my bedroom a different color every year, I can say I have always had a love for experimenting with visual aesthetics.
Some other things about me: I'm also a state certified massage therapist, a dog mom (but I love cats equally and am a big fan of animals in general), I collect houseplants and vinyl records, and I love vintage and antique items. I also enjoy listening to music, discovering new artists, watching movies, playing video games, being out in nature, traveling, and spending time with my people.
Physical forms of art mediums I like to play around with: embroidery, watercolor, and charcoal.
Thank you for reading! ☺
