Bio

I am Clarissa Fletcher, a talented graphic designer, content creator, and author from Houston, Texas. My passion for drawing has been with me since childhood. With a strong academic background in Art and Digital Media, I have developed a varied portfolio and have had the opportunity to lead design projects in the entertainment sector as well as for several non-profit organizations. My skills include visual design, social media management, content creation, and visual storytelling.

Currently, I am working towards my Master’s degree in Interior Architecture at the Boston Architectural College, where I am immersed in a wide range of architectural and interior design courses. I aim to complete my Master of Interior Architecture program by May 2027.
