Professional info
I started as a freelance artist & designer in October 2022 after an opportunity arose to donate and participate in a fundraising event. Since then, I have completed and sold numerous custom creations for family members, friends, and other neighbors. I have worked strictly through word-of-mouth and social media such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
