Hi! My full name is Julissa Marie Ortiz Montoya, I just turned 20 in August, and I am currently a transfer student at Chico State (CSU).
Since I can remember I have been a big fan of art and design, especially drawing, when I was little, I loved getting up early just to draw something in my notebook. Currently my passion for it has only grown, so now I am pursuing my dream of becoming a graphic designer and being able to collaborate on designs for books, fashion magazines, music albums, graphic novels, etc. Personally, I consider myself someone who is shy, but when I am with my friends, I become an extroverted person who laughs and smiles a lot, something I really enjoy. I come from a large family, and almost 5 years ago I moved from Mexico (from the state of Zacatecas) to California, where I live with my parents and my 2 younger siblings (a sister of 18 and a brother of 8) and I have this hope of being the first to have a university degree, hoping to achieve it in the very near future. I also have 2 adorable pets! a black Chihuahua named Galleta, and a small Russian Dwarf Hamster named Johnny. Apart from finishing university, other exciting plans that I would like to make would be to travel to places I had never been before (ex. South Korea, Italy, South America, Japan, Hawaii, Thailand, etc.), go to concerts of my favorite artists, and to create my own graphic novels.
Some things that I like are:
