I spent three years at an art academy, where I immersed myself in the world of graphic design. During my studies, I learned the fundamentals of composition, typography, color theory, and visual communication. Through both digital and traditional media, I honed my creative and technical skills, developing a strong eye for aesthetics. This experience not only deepened my understanding of design but also prepared me for a future in the industry, where I can bring ideas to life through visual storytelling.
