Hi, I'm Arosha

I acquired a designer's eye at a young age when I started to paint and draw in grade school. I knew early on that I wanted to be a creative individual, so I ended up studying graphic design at James Madison University. This was a chance for me to delve into design and gain the hard skills that paved the way for me to design the best of my ability. I have always been curious to create visually appealing assets for the future. I am a storyteller and a creative individual that wants to solve real-world problems. I want to capture design as a means to probe the semiotics of culture in society and create a positive impact within our environment and our wellbeing.
