I graduated from Valencia College on summer of 2024 with an Associates of Science in Graphic and Interactive Design [Interactive Specialization]. In addition, I previously gained a technical certificate from Orange Technical College in Digital Media and Multimedia Design.
During my time in both of these educational institutions, I have learned all about layout, hierarchy, typography, iconography, image and video editing, manipulating [in the artistic sense, not psychologically], compositing, researching, briefing, wireframing, prototyping, user and case study testing, and some coding.
