In my own words
— ChaseIf you're thinking that a girl with a male dominant name might be predisposed to be a tomboy...
you're right. I love to be outdoors camping, hiking, exploring and taking my camera everywhere. I also love plants, a great meal, and dogs. But what does that mean? It means that I'm a graphic designer who's source of creativity doesn't only come from spending hours in front of a computer screen. My aesthetic gravitates towards clean geometric structure, but I also am inspired by natural, organic layering.
