The early 90s was a great change for my family, as we moved across the sea to Toronto, Canada. Currently, I reside in the Greater Toronto Area and have been studying design since 2007.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]I have an advanced diploma in Graphic Design under my belt, as well as a certificate in Interior Decorating &amp; Redesigning from Ultimate Academy.

During my college years, I learned Adobe programs, such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Graphic design has taught me how create visual content to communicate visual messages.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1665515333668{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]The following years led me to the medical field, where I currently work as a medical\/technician receptionist. My current job role gave me the chance to gain interpersonal, customer service, and listening skills.

After several weeks of contemplating, I applied and attended an interior decorating workshop near my home. As a kid, I always enjoyed watching home decorating shows like, &#8220;<em>Debbie Travis\u2019s &#8211; The Painted House<\/em>&#8220;.

They are created specifically for students to gain knowledge and exposure to different scenarios and tasks.
