You're here to learn more about me? Yay!
I got into branding and graphic design gradually. It started with flyers for print and posts for social media. But, I always had an artistic eye and a passionate need to express myself creatively. I challenged myself to learn new tips and tricks to keep my followers engaged which led to questions like...
​
"What app did you use?" "Teach me how to do that!"
It started with tips and tricks for creating fun Instagram content. Then, it expanded to logos, lettering, graphic design, marketing, branding and more!
This hobby turned side hustle is quickly emerging to the forefront of my life.
My Story
I was raised in Oakland, Ca. I went on to pursue a B.A. in Theatre and Performance Studies at Saint Mary's College of Ca. While at Saint Mary's, I did marketing and publicity for my own radio show, the Campus Activities Board, and the Black Student Union. After graduation I returned to my alma mater, Holy Names High School, to teach drama, dance, and yearbook. Also, I directed the school musicals and plays! I did this all while doing graphic design as a side hustle. I mostly rebranded Instagram accounts, created flyers, logos, and social media content.
The pandemic allowed me to shift and align one of my passions into a career as a entrepreneur! In total, I've been helping small businesses grow their brands for over 5 years. Becoming a branding and design expert has allowed me to receive amazing opportunities, make some worthwhile connections, and most importantly, provide for myself as a full-time entrepreneur.
​
I have dreams of directing social media and marketing campaigns for my favorite brands and companies. With my experience and enthusiasm for curating amazing content, I believe that I am capable of working with any brand. Obsessed with current trends and nostalgic aesthetics, I use my creative eye and knowledge to make skilled designs and content!
