Why Hire a Designer with a Fine Arts Degree?

So your wedding is in less than a year, and you've been looking at gorgeous examples of wedding invitations that feature hand-painted florals. However, you don't want to order from a generic site and risk someone else sending out the exact same invitations, plus none of the designs include your specific wedding flowers that you spent hours choosing.

On top of wedding planning, you are also in charge of throwing your best friend's baby shower that's only two months away, and she wants monkey-themed invitations, but all of the designs you've found on the internet are super cheesy. Talk about stress on top of stress!

Sounds like you could use a designer with a fine arts degree!

I graduated from Clarke University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2015. (Wait, isn't it next to impossible for art majors to find jobs? Short answer: no, and I'm always looking for ways to incorporate my handskills into the designs I create for you!) In college, I took three-hour-long drawing classes to refine my skills in different media, including pencil, charcoal, oil pastel, ink, etc. Knowledge of the proper techniques to use diverse drawing media allows me to develop artwork specific to your vision, whatever it may be. Additionally, I learned basic painting techniques, mainly using acrylics, but since graduation, I have taught myself to watercolor, and I absolutely love it! I also dabbled in printmaking, book arts, sculpture, photography and learned to integrate these different art-making methods into digital designs, complete with expert use of typography.

What does this mean for you? The skills I worked to refine in college (and beyond) allow me to help you, dear client, with whatever style invitation you can imagine! Whether you want watercolor bridal shower invitations featuring a specific floral arrangement or adorably illustrative baby shower invitations, I can bring your ideas to life in a way that will impress your guests and make them excited for your event! What are you waiting for? Let's work together to create something awesome!
