With a rich artistic heritage, my journey into the world of design and art began at an early age, courtesy of my talented artist parents. Art was a constant companion throughout my school years, and it continues to be an integral part of my life. As a hobbyist, I find my creative outlet through painting and drawing, with a primary focus on the expressive use of acrylics. This lifelong passion for artistic expression has paved the way for my creative endeavors.

Over the course of 12 years, I embarked on an entrepreneurial adventure, running my own business. This venture allowed me to channel my creativity into practical, real-world applications. I eagerly took on responsibilities, from managing website updates to photography and creating engaging social media content. Notably, I even designed my own advertisements, using tools like Canva. These experiences not only fueled my creativity but also honed my business acumen.

More recently, I've explored the realm of Figma, a platform that has captivated me with its boundless creative possibilities. I've come to appreciate the versatility it offers and have been deeply immersed in it for the past few months. It was during this period that I realized my unyielding passion for creativity is a driving force, compelling me to embrace fresh challenges and embark on new projects.

In addition to my design pursuits, I'm on a journey to master CSS and HTML, and I'm steadily gaining proficiency in JavaScript. These web development skills are adding layers to my creative toolkit and enabling me to bring my visions to life in the digital realm.

Growing up, I was often told that I possessed the unique ability to "sell ice to Eskimos." This knack for sales, whether it be a delectable treat like millionaire shortbread, my business services, or even our family home, stems from my entrepreneurial spirit. I'm relentless in the pursuit of my goals, and if I believe in something, I won't rest until I've achieved it. This tenacity has guided me through various ventures, from selling products to offering services. My drive knows no bounds.

Outside of my professional pursuits, I find immense joy in staying active and maintaining a deep appreciation for all things fitness-related. Whether it's cycling, running, or engaging in a good read, my free time is filled with activities that invigorate both my body and mind. Learning new things is a passion, and there's nothing like a satisfying series binge to unwind. But above all, I hold a deep appreciation for the value of friendship in life.

In a nutshell, I'm an individual driven by a profound love for creativity, a passion for fitness, and the enduring bonds of friendship.

My life is an exciting canvas, with each day offering new opportunities to explore, create, and connect with the world around me.
