About 

After emerging into the workforce at a young age I realized that knowledge from each job opportunity I had corresponds within each other. Working from maintenance to retail to logistics to now the design field I've learned and adapted into the proper work environment with the knowledge and skillsets they've taught me. With those skills, I have applied them to my passion within the design world.
