Hi, I'm Cynthia!
Growing up I’ve always been drawn to the creative field, starting my journey in studio art classes during middle and high school. As I began to seriously consider what I wanted to do with my life, I was exposed to the field of graphic design in community college, leading to a journey of discovering all the ways creativity can be used to solve real world problems and play an impact on how we think and what we do.
My greatest exposure to the field would be during my time in the Graphic Design program at CSULB, where I found myself being drawn to branding as I loved to learn about different industries and find beautiful, fitting ways to present them.
