Biography
Hey! I am Ebony XIX, Graphic Designer and Digital artist.
I am from Philadelphia and currently based in Atlanta.
I am an alumni of Fayetteville State University where I obtained my BFA in Digital Art. Currently, I am working towards my MFA in Multimedia Design at Full Sail University.
As a child, I loved music videos. Almost to the point that I live my life like a music video even to this day. I was about four years old when I saw the music video for “More Than a Woman” by Aaliyah and thought “How do I make stuff like this?” from then on I involved myself in everything artistic and graphics related. In high school, I went to a Technical high school for half the day where I took Visual Communications. That’s when I realized that if I want a career in this field, I’ll have to make my work ethic surpass the competition, because let’s be honest, Art is a very competitive career field.
