the more you have” – Maya Angelou
Hello, I’m Deana
ILLUSTRATOR | DESIGNER | MOTHER
I’m a graphic designer and illustrator based in NJ. I’m inspired by the world around me, and I love to create art through design, painting, illustration, and crafts.
I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2001, and since then, art has remained at the heart of everything I do.
Illustration and art journaling are among my greatest passions. I keep multiple journals, each one unique, that allow me to capture my days and explore creativity in different ways.
