About
Hi there everyone,
My name is Savannah Jackson, and my story starts into my childhood of discovering my love for design. I would always find myself drawing sketches of fashion flats, logos, and comic... books. My love for design intensified as I got into my adulthood.
As I developed my skills and gained various experience ranging from fashion, graphic, editorial, and social media. I would love help others to gain the skills necessary to break into these industries.
I am fortunate enough to have worked with so many brands and clients. I would love more than anything to help others to build their skills that can mold them into their respective fields.
Let's work together so you can reach your full potential.read more
