Why do I design?
The idea of being able to have a conversation, or spread ideas, cultures, emotions, etc. Across language barriers is what originally ignited my passion for design. One of my favorite things about being a designer is that I can work on many different types of projects, which allows me to learn more about a wide variety of topics and software I haven't had experience with. Basically, I love learning, communicating, and creating, so design was a perfect fit.
