Graphic Design

Ever since taking graphic design at my high school, I’ve fallen in love with it. My first design was a poster for my high school’s spirit week, and it was extremely satisfying seeing my work placed all around campus. Since then, I’ve found various personal projects to pursue, some of which you can see below in my portfolio section!

Video Editing

In the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school, I attended a filmmaking camp. It was there I discovered my passion for filmmaking, more specifically video editing. Right after, I remember seeing masterfully edited gaming montages, and many hours were spent trying to get cool clips. Since then I’ve stopped editing gaming montages, but the many hours I spent editing those videos taught me the fundamentals and more of Premiere Pro

Web Design

I’ve never gotten into web design because I’ve always been afraid of the coding aspect, but after learning HTML and CSS in my college CS classes I decided to give it a shot. In making my own website (the one you’re visiting right now!) I have grown to love the convergence of graphic design and coding that results in web design.
