About Me

Hello, I’m Kevin

Designing and Creating a Creative World

I’m obsessed with creativity and the opportunity to learn more. In 2016 was the year I first discovered Photoshop and my passion for the digital world. Shortly after that, I got into Illustrator and InDesign. After High School, I attended the University of Colorado Denver and studied Digital Design for a semester.

A year later, during the pandemic, I transferred to the University of Colorado Boulder to pursue a major in Landscape Architecture.

My passion extends beyond design to storytelling, art, and conveying emotion through imagery. I believe that designs and illustrations that captivate and resonate with viewers are truly to be cherished and celebrated.

Through my experiences, I’ve learned not only the challenges and hardships but also the joy of overcoming obstacles. Countless projects, tests, papers, and critiques have helped me become more open to generating ideas, exploring unfamiliar topics, and finding the courage to persevere.

Learning design has been a challenging but rewarding journey. Every new skill pushes me to grow, and I approach each challenge with perseverance and a commitment to giving my best.

Thank you.
