It ’ s not something she thinks about , it ’ s what she is . “ It was never something I had to ponder ,” she says . “ When all my classmates were trying to figure out what to major in for college , I knew art school was the only way for me to go .” She worked 10 years as a graphic designer in an advertising agency but found her true calling after striking out on her own . “ I started to go back to my passion of drawing and the illustrative jobs just starting finding me ,” she says .
