Personal Information
Title: Graphic Design & Creative Professional
Education and Training
I hold an Associate of Science degree and have completed extensive undergraduate coursework in Psychology at Elizabeth City State University, developing strong skills in research, communication, critical thinking, human behavior, and creative problem-solving.
I am currently pursuing further education in Graphic Design at Nash Community College to strengthen my artistic and technical design skills. My creative experience includes traditional drawing, painting, digital illustration, logo design, promotional flyers, banners, and visual presentations.
Through academic projects, independent artwork, and art competitions, I have developed skills in visual storytelling, composition, color theory, creative planning, and design presentation. My background in psychology also provides a valuable foundation for understanding audiences, communicating ideas visually, and creating meaningful, engaging designs.
