Step 1 Getting Started in Design

I really found my passion for design during my time in highschool. There was a student-run morning show and weekly show, where I dabbled in creating graphics and visuals for the broadcasts. My senior year, I really took on the role of lead designer for the morning show slideshows and played a big role in yearbook, keeping track of photos across sports and activities.

Step 2 Learning the Tools

During this time, I started learning various design tools, such as Canva. In the summer, I took it up a notch and started using Photoshop, Illustrator, and other software. I practiced through tutorials and worked on projects that helped me grow.

Step 3 Building My Portfolio

I started creating more serious work for my portfolio in the fall of my freshman year. I began making LVC football graphics as a way to practice, but little did I know that it would help grow my Instagram page and start making a name for myself. This included sports content, promotional graphics, game day posts, personal projects, and work for other people.
