About
Hi, my name is Anne. I fell in love with art & design when I was in sixth grade! I knew then what I wanted to be when I grew up, a graphic designer. My mission is to help others bring their visions into reality, utilizing my creativity, ideas & graphic design skills I have acquired throughout my life. Bringing joy to others through art & design is important to me.
THINGS I LOVE TO DO
• I love music! It boosts creativity and brain waves. It’s essential for both productivity and relaxation.
• Research! I love to read articles and learn about new technology & mobile apps. I also like to teach friends how to use technology to organize and streamline their everyday lives.
• Designing digital art for fun! I’m always learning new techniques, adding to my graphic design skills.
• Observing nature and life! Beautiful things make me smile, such as music & art. I love to share them with friends! -
