Carisma Hilgendorf

As a child, I was always creative; I used to draw and paint almost every day. As I got into my early teenage years, I enjoyed making posters for my favorite bands on free editing websites. High school introduced me to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, which was when I first started to develop a fondness for digital media. Now, earning my Graphic Design Associate degree from MATC, I’ve grown as an artist and a person, discovering my strengths and improving my skills. I’m excited to see where my art takes me in the next couple of years and the opportunities ahead.
