Artist Statement
For me, I work with graphic design because it is heavily based on the conversation between the designer and the client. Developing designs involves an intended purpose and an execution. The purpose varies based on what the design is for while the execution is how the design is accomplished. If the client is incapable of relaying what they want in a design and the designer is unable to help or guide them through the process, then the project will end up incomplete and lacking. The client has the design problem while the designer solves it. Utilizing my digital and physical skills I can accurately relay the clients intended message while providing an interesting and thought-provoking design. Being strongly involved in the field has sparked numerous interests in various new areas. Making something and having that take away is a fantastic feeling. Being able to see my designs and claim that I made them is truly satisfying.
