Graphic Design

The world of graphic design has been new and exciting to explore. Coming from a traditional arts background, online graphics is a whole new playing field to learn. Over time I have enjoyed discovering my style through various projects. I can now create logos, advertisement graphics, mockups, and much more, as seen below.
