A little about me

A little bit about me: I adore design. I study both the art and science of design. The more I learn, the more I appreciate design- not just on the screen but everywhere. Design should always serve a purpose, provide a solution. Good design makes sense and being a bit of a nerd, I love that. I am an analytical mind with a romantic imagination. I love to dream about making things better and more beautiful. I love to connect different areas of study to inform my decisions. I believe in making the world a better place and I can’t wait to use design to do that.
