frequently asked questions

i got my start with design at a very young age starting out with paint in around 2014 and switching over to gimp for most of my earliest design work! a large portion of my passion came from making stuff on roblox as a kid, i vivdly remember getting heavily invested in the cloth making niche of the site in around 2016.

it wasnt till my freshman year of high school that i was given access to the adobe suite, taking computer arts classes with my wonderful teacher who really pushed for me to pursue the field. he would often provide me with great feedback and often praise my early work for being some of the best in the class. i was one of four selected for his advanced class which i took my sophmore year, which taught me how to use illustrator.

the next two years of my school were online, so i had plenty of time at home to start finding out what i really wanted to do as a designer. as i got more involved with following musicians i started to notice a youtuber named kel lauren. (who is an exceptional merchandising designer themselves!) finding them was a life changing moment for me as it shifted my design style massively, teaching me a lot about how you can integrate truly unique concepts into design work.

i started on my first mock-ups for merchandising for musicians i listened to in 2022, quickly advancing my style and skills to get some notice from some of my favorite musicians at the time. these mock-ups are a majority of my current working portofolio as i am currently a full time student to obtain my associates then transfer for my bachelors. :)
