Bio: I am a student at FIU working on my graphic design major. I grew up in south
Florida most of my life and have been inspired by digital art as well as classical art. I like
to incorporate concepts of life and spirituality into my work, and I am drawn to artists
and art pieces that do the same. I decided to peruse Graphic design because it is a way
to express my creative passions and make an impact on the world. I enjoy drawing on
paper and pencil, but I also enjoy the process of digital drawing and digital design. My past work includes a blend of both mediums, and I plan to explore more digital art
in the future.

This design is inspired by the rhythmic movement of ocean waves and the marine life
that inhabits them. At the center is an otter, whose form is integrated with swirling
patterns that echo the fluid motion of the surrounding water. These elements are
intentionally aligned to convey a sense of harmony and continuous flow.
The concept also draws attention to the environmental connection between urban
infrastructure and the ocean. In many cities, storm drains lead directly to the sea,
carrying with them everything that flows through our streets. Both the visual
composition and accompanying text are designed to highlight this critical relationship—
emphasizing the idea that what enters our city drains ultimately impacts ocean ecosystems.
