Bio

Hey my name is Tristan, and I’m majoring in Communication Design. My interest specifically is in graphic design. I’ve taught myself programs such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro and Illustrator. I seek to continously grow in these areas and learn more about my interests even beyond digital work, such as jetsking.
