I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t creating. Before I even knew how to write, I was drawing, painting, building worlds that existed only in my mind. Art has never been just a pastime—it has been my language, my lens, my way of making sense of everything around me.

      As a child, I was fascinated by how colors could tell stories, how shapes could convey emotions. I painted before I understood what art truly was, but even then, I knew one thing: this was what I was meant to do.

      Growing up, I wasn’t content with simply admiring great design—I wanted to master it. I wanted to refine my skills, push boundaries, and craft visuals that didn’t just exist but evoked something real in people. That relentless curiosity led me to experiment with different forms, from illustration to branding, from digital design to visual storytelling.

         When the time came to take the next step in my journey, I poured my heart into my portfolio, crafting not just a collection of work but a testament to my passion, resilience, and vision. The response was overwhelming—I was accepted into several prestigious universities across the United States. But for me, there was only one choice: SCAD – Savannah College of Art and Design.

            Why SCAD? Because it’s not just a school—it’s a launchpad.
SCAD is where the best in the world gather to create, innovate, and push the limits of what’s possible. It’s where artistry meets cutting-edge technology, where talent is challenged, refined, and transformed into mastery. And that’s exactly where I belong.

         At SCAD, I am not just learning—I am evolving. Every project sharpens my skills, every critique pushes me further, and every challenge fuels my hunger to grow. I am not here to simply follow the path of great designers, I am here to forge my own.

       I came here to be the best version of myself. To create fearlessly, innovate relentlessly, and turn ideas into impact. And this is just the beginning.

         Join me on this journey. Let’s design the future together !
