I love creating art that anyone can enjoy! I have had experience using Procreate, Canva, Photoshop, and Illustrator but my preference lies with Canva and Procreate. Through my own small art business, university clubs and organizations, and personal projects, I have created multiple logos, posts, flyers, and digital ads. My style can vary depending on the tone of the content. While I tend to have a more colorful and cute art style, I understand that this style does not fit every scenario. I am very flexible when it comes to the stye depending on the need of the client. I love the art world and every client matters to me. I promise to do my best to communicate with the client until the project is complete to ensure the client is more than satisfied with the result.
