Graphic design is my passion, seriously though. I have been working toward a career in graphic design since middle school and it has been integral to my life ever since. This portfolio website is just a small glimpse into the hard work and passion I have for design and marketing. I built jtfworld to save my life, and if you choose to enter it with me, it may just make yours a lot more colorful at the very least!

Thank you to Justin Luong for all the help behind the scenes. Thank you to my entire UNF Graphic Design Cohort, especially Reagan Gipson, Alyssa Morgan, Nicole Cunha, Emily Coolbaugh, Frankie Mount, and Andrew Powell, you all helped more than you know to bring this vision to life. As always thank you to Val for your incredible eye for photography, thank you for taking the pictures for 3FATES and pictures for our portfolio show, you have been able to bring all of my crazy delusions to life and I can't thank you enough.
