    I have always said pictures were my first language and English was my second. I have been drawing since I was little and while never formally trained I became quite good at it. I went to school for Communication Art and Design at Alexandria Technical College where I learned a thing or two about Graphic Design. I can work in vector illustrations, digital and traditional. I am also familiar with Amazon KDP and both internal and external page layout. In addition I have 5 years of design and layout experience. Then in 2020 I got my certificate of animation at Animation Mentor which I look forward to implementing towards my future endeavors.
