My love for Design all started back in High

School…

When I attended Bollman Technical

Center in Thornton, CO.

realize that Graphic Design is my passion.

Motivated Design

Target Audience: Artists that want to sell

their work.

Artists must be motivated and passionate about their work

to want to try to sell it.

h"ps://ununsplash.imgix.net/photo-­‐1416339672936-­‐7fe434088e8c?q=75&fm=jpg&s=56184654e18350b3f7f872747a7b9e61  

I want to be able to help them get their original work onto cards,

canvas wraps, or basic prints for the artist to sell.

I want the artist’s passion to make someone else happy just

from looking at their work.

Classroom Project Experience

Throughout my schooling through Bollman, my Graphic Design class hit on

all the points of design. We had experience from logos to brochures to

movie posters.

Motivated Design Imagination is key.

sculpting category at the Adams 12 District Art

Working hard & staying motivated.

My entire career has

been based off of those two things.

I have worked

very hard to be where I am at, only at the age

of 20.

From all of these experiences I have become someone who is very driven

and motivated.

I hope to keep improving and

become a better designer,

day by day.
