Biography of
Shulisa Collins
My graphic design journey began when I was twelve years old as I became enthralled with drawing. Drawing remains one of my greatest strengths today. I studied Fashion Design at the American Inter Continental University in Marina Del Rey, but graphics remain my passion.
It is my nature to be creative and I employ my imagination in everything I do. I have always received encouragement and support from my family. My stepfather in particular was and is a large influence in my life and in my art.
I enrolled in the Visual Communication program at Los Angeles Trade Technical College in 2010. My plan is to complete an Associate of Arts Degree at the college before transferring to Cal State Long Beach University to continue my art education. A BFA is my ultimate goal.
As a little girl I grew up with allot of artistic people in my family. My passion for drawing and graphics has grown stronger over time. I am fluent in digital technology and love equally the challenge of using traditional hand skills to create my art. I have courage, self motivation, confidence, and a strong desire to succeed in my chosen career. I cannot wait to see what’s next on this creative journey and I plan to completely immerse myself.
