Hi Everyone! Welcome to D9 Digital Designs!
I am a special education teacher by day, a self-taught (and still learning) graphic design artist by night; and a very, very (very) proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated (Ee-yip!).
I began my graphic design work in 2015 in the awareness world where (almost inadvertently) I took up the cause of designing awareness art for friends and loved ones who were battling various illnesses such as Breast Cancer, Alzheimer's, HIV & AIDS and Lupus. I wanted to create clothing to honor my loved ones and decided, almost on a whim, to design and create the clothing myself. Though the subject matter was quite somber and, at times, grave; it was in designing for these various causes that I found one of my greatest passions: graphic arts & design. I not only found that the process of designing and creating art was an amazingly therapeutic one; witnessing the joy that a well completed design brought to another was a deliciously satisfying experience. You can find these designs in my first Etsy shop - Awareness Svg (awarenesssvg.etsy.com).
My second Etsy shop was Twenty and Two Designs (twentyandtwodesigns.etsy.com), a store I created exclusively for me and my sorors and our affiliates. And now, after many requests to do so, I have created my third Etsy shop - D9 Digital Designs (d9digitaldesigns.etsy.com). I am now able to offer my budding graphic designs skills to you, my fellow members of the Divine 9.
I must say I am both excited and unnerved. I am quite excited...feeling like somewhat of a veteran now. However, I still keep the graphic design books (and the social media books and the photography books and the videography books...) close at hand; and I have dedicated myself fully to producing great art for you.
I hope that you come to love the art that I create for you as much as I have thoroughly loved creating it.
