Hi! I am Tristen and I am so happy you are here! 

I am a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin where I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design in May 2023. 

​

In August of 2023, I decided that it was time for a change of scenery & moved to Charleston, SC. While there, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work as a graphic designer and marketing assistant for a boutique and gift store. I gained so much experience and absolutely loved every minute spent in Charleston. However, there is absolutely no place like home, so I decided that it was time to make the move back to Tennessee and to bring everything I have learned both personally and professionally, with me.

​

I have many aspirations and dreams for myself as a designer, and I am excited to pursue them. I often say I was, "created to create." Growing up, I did not have opportunities to grow as an artist due to my school system not offering art classes past the 5th grade. Because of this, I learned a lot of what I know on my own and have become determined to inspire and show others the importance of design through my work. Creating is the thing that I always fall back on in the good days and the bad days, and it is what I love most. I feel that I have a purpose in this world, which is to use my talents for something bigger than myself and I plan to fulfill that calling.
