A bit more about me
I am Toni Taylor-Satterfield, a proud graduate of Penn State University, where I completed my studies in Digital Multimedia Design in the fall of 2020. Following this, I continued my educational journey by earning a Master's degree in Integrated Design from the University of Baltimore in the spring of 2023. In addition to these academic achievements, I have also obtained certificates in Information Systems and Technology, as well as Digital Arts. Currently, I am dedicated to furthering my education and expertise as I work toward a Master of Science in Interaction Design and Information Architecture from the University of Baltimore.
​
My journey into the world of art and design began at a young age, inspired by the artistic talents of both my maternal grandfather and my mother. Their creative influence kindled my early aspirations, but as I grew, I discovered my own profound affection for technology and design. During my high school years, I eagerly joined the yearbook team and found my enthusiasm in designing yearbooks, eventually becoming the editor-in-chief.
​
It was during this time that I first delved into the realms of Photoshop and Illustrator, realizing a deep-seated passion for graphic design and digital art. Creating and designing have become the cornerstones of my life's purpose. Art has been my constant source of joy, a place where I can truly express myself. Whether I'm sketching, capturing moments through photography, meticulously editing images, crafting captivating layouts, or transforming visuals into dynamic videos and GIFs, I am consistently in my element.
Each day presents an opportunity for me to expand my knowledge and skills in the domains of design and art, and this journey brings immeasurable joy to my heart. Art, in all its forms, is my sanctuary, and I look forward to sharing my passion and creativity with the world.
