I have been in school for 15 years, and from a young age I was always interested in art of all mediums. I grew up drawing and practicing all the time. Everyday I drew something in a notebook instead of going outside or playing video games. These early years of my life would be the stepping stones for what I wanted to be when I got older which was an “artist.” At the time I was not sure what I wanted to do specifically, but I knew it had something to do with art.

I became vaguely familiar with DSLR cameras, Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator making books, calendars, flyers, and logos for local schools. I was doing everything I wanted to do learning things I was interested in. When I applied to colleges I Applied to SUNY schools that had Graphic Design Majors and ended up going to Alfred State College as a Digital media and animation major.

These two goals are my primary long-term goals I could see myself being heavily involved video, music, or even illustration as my skills progress. I guess I could say that my long-term goal is to be well-rounded in several different fields of art and being able to apply them successfully in everything I
