What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my artistic skills and engage with clients in a creative environment.

I am a dedicated and passionate artist currently studying Illustration in the Digital Arts program at MICA. My journey in the arts has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including digital illustration, photography, and photo editing. I thrive in creative environments and am always eager to expand my visual art skills while enhancing my social interactions with customers.

Throughout my experiences, I have developed strong communication skills, particularly during my time as a crew member at Amazing Art Studio and McDonald's. These roles taught me the importance of teamwork and customer service, which I believe are essential in any artistic endeavor. As a caricature artist at Goofy Faces, I not only honed my artistic abilities but also learned how to effectively market my work and engage with clients, providing them with memorable experiences through my art.
