A LITTLE MORE ABOUT MY PATH TO ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN

When I was little, I was constantly drawing something. Whether it was crayons, paint, chalk, or watercolors, I loved all mediums, and art was my favorite! In high school, I got to use Pagemaker in my journalism class (one of the first desktop publishing programs prior to InDesign), and I would look forward to that class most of all. It was the highlight of my school day getting to layout text and images in that program. We had the assignment to do a mock cover of a magazine, and it was by far my most loved project as a teen. For the project, I used a photograph of my boyfriend when he was four years old (he would be my future husband, but I didn’t know it then) – and it is my favorite piece of high school memorabilia!
