I'm a designer and illustrator that graduated Summa Cum Laude from Pace University in December 2023 with a BFA in Art and minors in Graphic Design and Digital Marketing. I presented my Honors Thesis, a complete written and illustrated children's book, Garnet Hates Ghosts and had it featured in Pace University's gallery. I have been sketching and drawing ever since I was little, but found my passion for digital art when I started an Instagram account in 2018. I started experimenting with digital collage and edits, heavily inspired by fashion and pop culture. I then started collaborating with companies to promote their products on my account. In 2021, I had grown my audience to over 75,000 followers with posts that reached millions of impressions. I changed my type of content
to feature more of my artwork and I still post on the account @rensfaire. I realized with how
much I loved it, so I wanted to do something like it as a career. My beginning working experience includes being a Social Media Marketing Intern for the nonprofit organization ASCENDtials in
2021 and being elected Chief Creative Officer at my university's American Marketing Association.
I was in charge of creating all the graphics for our social media and flyers and managed a team of designers. I also helped brainstorm event ideas and marketing strategies to increase attendance at our events. At the end of 2022, I had the privilege of assisting Doug Fitch and Tommy Nguyen with a series of original costumes for the premiere of BalletCollective's "The Fluidity of Time". In 2023, I had the incredible opportunity of completing a graphic design internship with Lift Agency. I gained experience creating content for the agency's clients and designing social media templates. I was also the Social Media Intern for Vacation Forever Tattoo where I created video content to promote the studio. Most recently, I have been designing book covers for freelance clients, including Frat Wars, a series by Saxon James through the exposure of gaining millions of views sharing my book cover redesigns on TikTok.
