About me

I love figuring out the "why" behind things and solving problems creatively and efficiently. I also enjoy pressure and high stakes environments.

How I became Interested in Design

I came across this Duke Commitment edit made by CBB Visuals. I was inspired and wanted to make my own. I taught myself Photoshop and created this graphic for my commitment to wrestle at NYU.

This graphic took me over 15 hours to make since I manually cut out the image using the pen tool. I only realized later that I could just press the select subject button to achieve the same result...

Ever since then, I was asked by other athletes to make commitment graphics for them.
