Hi I'm Estonia. Yes, I was named after the country but no, I'm not Estonian. I'm actually Dominican, Polish and Russian. I was born and raised in central New Jersey. I grew up in a very creative household, quickly finding myself drawing and exploring different creative outlets. Besides all the artsy stuff, I'm a foodie, animal and travel lover.
Why Graphic Design
It's become a passion of mine to translate thoughts and emotions into visuals. I love how different mediums of art such as music, film, painting or photography inspire me. It's my goal to do the same in my work.
Strengths
Being able to grow and push myself as a designer is something I pride myself on. I enjoy the challenge of perfecting my work and skills. You can often find me drawing my bow and launching myself into various creative goals.
Skills
Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, XD, After Effects, Figma and currently learning Blender with previous knowledge of Maya.
Interests & Hobbies
Any creative DIY projects (picked up sewing over the summer), baking, playing video games, reading and spending time with my pets.
