Lio + Co Branding
After receiving my first Windows computer on my 14th birthday, my design journey began with MySpace, a social media platform that allowed users to design their profile pages with HTML/CSS coded layouts. I immediately fell in love with it and knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. The journey wasnt easy but allowing life teach me lessons, with strength and perseverance I felt that eventually my purpose would come into fruition. Junior & Senior year of high school, I engaged in Graphic Design & Photography electives that taught me great things. Some time after graduating from high school, I began freelancing, while settling for full time jobs that had little to no connection to my major and exploring other unrelated business ideas. Doubts or not, design always felt like more of a priority, the plan just needed to be executed differently.In 2019, I finally graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design. Then the pandemic happened. Like most, I went through an awakening, pertaining to my personal life and career, I realized that I had to put my big girl pants on and do something that would propel me differently in this field, but first, I needed to be patient with the process and eventually leave jobs and business ideas that were no longer serving me. All I could think about was 14 year old me. Here we are today, with Lio + Co Branding to connect people with their brand essence via bespoke design (how exciting!). It brings me joy & fulfillment that Im able to use my creative gifts for those that need them.
