​
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.
