About Me

I’m currently a graphic design student here at UWRF. I enjoy creating website and app prototypes on Adobe Xd. I sometimes draw with graphite when I have time. I’m currently working on my Illustration skills. This summer I’m excited to start my first 2 internships. I will be creating illustration for a beauty app and social media. The other I will be redesigning a website for a company that collects plastic and creates furniture with them. This journey is just beginning and I’m excited to see where it takes me.

Artist Statement

When I begin to create art, I wait until I’m in the correct headspace, I never want to create when I’m stressed or not interested. My best work is when I’m excited and listening to my favorite music. I often focus on digital design, interior design, and graphite. For my digital work, I create app prototypes on Adobe Xd, or I make illustrations that are usually for the app. I do this for the pure joy of seeing someone using the app and not having any frustrating phrases such as “I hate this app”; I feel a similar way about interior design, where I want to see the joy in someone when they walk into a room. I want them to explore around, touch the room, and feel comfortable. When I work with graphite, I focus on drawing nature or humans because there is a calmness and beauty to it that I want to capture. I create for my audience and myself. I want to keep a connection with those who use my apps, live in the rooms I design, and find the calmness in my drawings.

Art Work

  • Years in Photographs

    Adobe Illustrator (2021)

    Here I took all the photos on my phone from 2019 to 2021. I organized them into different categories and assigned them colors. I looked at different graphs to see how I wanted to present the data from the photos. Selected the circle graphs and got to illustrate them on Adobe Ai.

  • Coju

    Adobe Xd (2022)

    Using Adobe Xd, I created a ramen website for a restaurant that also has to-go packets. In the future, I plan to add my own ramen package designs to the website.

  • Frogs on Mush

    Graphite on matte paper (9x7), 2021

    Drawn with graphite on 9x7 matte paper. In 2021, I did this for my drawing 2 class. My boyfriend loves frogs and I love mushrooms. Combining the two I was able to create this piece that now hangs in our living room.

  • Coju Logo

    Adobe Illustrator (2022)

    This is Coju, I created him for the ramen website. Something about my little character is I love creating other characters in the exact shape. I got the inspiration from Takashi Murakami Panda, 2002.

    One of my first creations on Adobe Ai. I created a monster from a scribble that someone else drew.

  • Ramen

    Adobe Illustrator (2022)

    Created for my ramen website, Coju. I spent time working on my skills in Adobe Ai. This was a fun yet challenging thing to do, but in the end, it’s one of my favorites.

  • Little Website

    HTML and CSS (2021)

    Using HTML and CSS I created a portfolio in 2021. I found coding to be a challenging thing to learn but was determined to do it.

  • Bapa

    Graphite on matte paper (24x18), 2021

    Drawn with graphite on matte paper (24x18). This was in honor of my grandfather, who I called Bapa. He passed away in 2020 from covid while suffering from severe Alzheimers. I wanted to show his memory loss by having important family members fading away like a tv going static.

  • VoiceThread

    Adobe Xd (2021)

    I recreated the VoiceThread app on adobe xd. Due to the many frustrations, I had with the app I took it into my own hands. I looked at all the problems and fixed them with a new format directions.

  • Nicecream

    Graphite on matte paper (24x18), 2020

  • Boba and Waffles

    Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (2020)

    At the beginning of my journey, I had a desire to create food advertisement posters. Here is one poster I created for a class. I wanted to represent my love for waffles and boba.

  • Coju Menu

    Adobe Illustrator (2022)

    On Adobe Ai, I created a menu spread that was used on my ramen website. I actually found this to be more work than I thought it would be. In the end, I love how it turned out.

  • Iron Man

    HTML and CSS (2021)

    Using HTML and CSS I created an Iron Man website. This was a project, where we had to create a website on our favorite hero. I love Iron Man (hubby) and while creating this I watched all the movies.

  • Michael Quote

    Adobe After effects (2021)

    Have always been a big fan of Michael Jackson, therefore I created this little video on after effects with one of his quotes. I have the quote attempting to moonwalk across the page and then comes in Michael.
