Profile
My interests are layout, website and digital design. I am always open to learning new things to expand my knowledge as a designer. I have been a competitive swimmer since the age of five and by the age of ten became a national level swimmer. A national level competitive swimmer takes an enormous amount of dedication and commitment to myself and to my team. I plan to bring this same level of dedication to my professional career.
