10. ABOUT ME
Creative, artistic, and whimsical are a few words that describe my graphic
personality. I like to think outside the box and try different techniques to create
visual interest with designs. Graphic design has always been a passion of mine.
Web design is a new way for me to visually share projects. My hobbies also
include, sewing, playing video games, reading, and learning how to play the
electric guitar.
