Miranda Alvarez

Graphic Design was always my unknown calling. Since I was young I had a knack for design. When I was around ten years old I created the "Moffitt Family Newspaper". Although being nothing more than a few pen written sheets of 11x17 ledger and leftover junk coupons, bound together by a overused rubber band, I had a plan to create the coolest and most useful newspaper that my immediate family had ever seen. Growing up I developed a love of Japanese animation which invoked my creative side once again.

I began to practice free hand work and pretty soon stuffed my art binder to the brim with different pieces. Sophomore year I was introduced to the photo editing behemoth, the glorious Adobe Photoshop. I was taken aback at the immense abundance of tools and was awestruck by its potential. I was finally able to let my love of design flourish when I enrolled in a Digital Design major in college. Currently, as a freelance Graphic Designer, I'm happy to have realized that my true career calling lies in Design
