My love for art and design started early; some of my first "masterpieces" were doodles on the side of the bathtub and my bedroom walls (sorry, Mom). After finding a new canvas, my career as an artist continued. I spent countless hours sketching with pencils and paper, eventually discovering charcoal as my favorite medium. In high school, I was introduced to Photoshop and Illustrator, unlocking a whole new way to bring my ideas to life.

That creative spark led me somewhere unexpected, launching a streetwear brand, Uncut Clothing. What started as an idea in my garage became a side project, then a passion, evolving into a full-scale creative operation where I hand-draw and digitally design every graphic, run the website, and handle social media marketing. It’s been exciting to see how art has led me into new interests like fashion, branding, and business, opening doors I never expected.

This journey has reinforced my love for creative advertising because, at its core, great branding is storytelling. Whether it’s designing a campaign, curating a brand identity, or marketing a product, it brings me joy to find compelling ways to connect with people.
