 Topaz Graphic Design

After many years in the business world I decided

to pursue my lifelong dream...

​

     I have always enjoyed a variety of creative arts such as photography, illustration, and dance. Upon beginning my journey in the field of Graphic Design my interest in the work and motivation to grow have led me to pursue my BA in Graphic Design.
