I'm a graphic designer. I went into graphic design not knowing anything about it—I just knew I had to create. I wish I'd known more about all the things I could have created back when I was 20. There are so many outlets to explore—fabric design, collage, web, print, digital, analog, painting, photography, product design, interior decorating, food design, font design...and the list goes on. I love colour and I love to push the limits on both colour and appearance. I usually dont design simply but even if I do have a simple design it's usually filled with several components. I love adding everything into it, then organizing it to make sense in my mind and sometimes I add hidden little treasures, that's my favourite. So when you look at one of my designs, whether it's a graphic design printed piece or a collage, you may have looked at it for several years, then one day you see something you hadnt seen before and voila, it's exciting to you again. So that's me in a nutshell.
