Designing digital, print, and mixed-media has been incredibly humbling and exciting. Since studying graphic design at SBCC and continuing at LMU, I knew this would truly become my most-loved craft.

Witnessing the expressions of those receiving their finished artwork is all the confirmation and motivation I need to keep creating.

No matter the need, I am always up for a new challenge. Translating your dreams into a visual wonderland is the key.

There's only one rule: KISS

Keep it simple, Sandy.
