Nice to meet you fellow Creatives

My Story

I started off with drawing on paper at a young age and art classes in school. I remember drawing as far back as kindergarten. This was the start to my artist side. Over the years I explored painting, using colored pencils, making cosplay costumes and props, making jewelry, and just creating anything I could imagine. I would get inspired by things and want to create my own version. My design side came into play in college. I initially went to college for Video Game Design, but I had to take a few design courses as prerequisites and absolutely fell in love with design. After that I took as many design courses as I could. This included graphic design, interaction design, motion graphics, strategic design, a design research methods course, and also different types of art. Because of this I've "shapeshifted" into an artist and designer that doesn't do just one type of work. I have this insatiable hunger to create. You will find that my work consists of things I love including unicorns, wolves, gaming, and Pokémon. You will also find that a lot of my work consists of mental health. I have battled depression for years and been in the darkest of places. I have Bipolar Disorder with ADHD with a sprinkle of social anxiety. I always want to help those struggling with their mental health, so they don't go through the same things I have. And though I do have these mental illnesses they are also a part of my strength as an Artist and Designer. I see things from a different perspective, and I think differently. I prefer unique things and being different. I'm also an empath which drives my work into wanting to create things uniquely to those I create for. For me creativity is real life magic, that makes me a wizard and because I do a bit of everything and shapeshift into whatever artist or designer I need to be I'm a shapeshifter.
