Continuing to grow as an artist, my interests expand; as I grow in my career, the things demanded of me have constantly shifted. My first semester consisted of building two entirely new skills- drafting and modelmaking. Moving forward, it was imperative to keep learning as much as possible about anything related to art and creation, even taking up jewelry-making and sewing. In cooperation with the concept of continued education, adaptability to issues that arise and a solution-based mindset are instrumental to success when working in a collaborative environment. I very much identify as a multi-faceted artist, and this informs and inspires my design work. The awareness of other areas and forms of art helps me maintain compassion to others while working on a team.
