As a Creative Designer, I love taking my passions and incorporating them into the work that I produce. When I was a Senior in High School, I wanted a place where I could display the design work that interested me, revolving around sports. Since then, my Instagram page, GraphicsxHL, has allowed me to showcase my personal projects and provided an outlet for those interested in design work.
Creating my own social media platform has not only allowed me to take on a role as an owner and head of a brand, but it has also given me a 3-year and going project that I have a personal attachment to and can continue to develop on my own time. Learning how to engage with clients, understanding the pricing of the design world, and finding what my worth as a designer is has been an invaluable experience that only entrepreneurship can teach.
Outside of the business aspects of my brand, it's also given me hours of training and experimenting in applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, which have allowed me to understand industry-standard practices, outside of the classroom.
