Graphic design is the way I live. For me, life is not complete without it looking good. I am an illustrator and graphic desgner. I love making things nice looking, wheather it is a post on social media, a video about a school activity, or a flyer for a company's event. Aesthetics is fundamental for me, and therefore, I consider it my task to make things around me look the best possible.

Reading and writing are the skills that have let humans reach the current level of development, for good or bad. The ability to record things in this manner has allowed us to store human knowledge for more than 5 thousand years, and technology over the centuries has allowed for the process to be easier and more effective, as we have gone from writing over stone, to write on keyboards or even use voice-to-text programs to record words using symbols. Reading and writing are the first skills that a child must learn, but developing both to make use of and communicate through them should be fundamental.
I have written evey paragraph, caption, article and essay on this website.
