A Bit About Me
​
As a creativist, I enjoy the world of art, from painting, and international murals to graphic design. Hardworking and dedicated, I always give 150% to my work. I enjoy watching movies of all genres and love the beach. Life's a journey & I'm always ready for an adventure.
I would love an opportunity to work for a company that has similar values as mine such as integrity, honor, and loyalty. Our world is changing every day and I would love to work alongside amazing designers & artists.
