Introduction

Hello! My name is Rachel Lantigua and I am 20 years old. I was born in the U.S here in Jersey with both my parents coming here from the Dominican Republic. Throughout my life I was always interested in the arts, more specifically character design, illustration, animation, and now recently typography. So with that in mind I decided to Double Major in Graphic Design and Fine Arts. Sadly due to me starting my program late I'll be graduating in May 2022. Hopefully when that time come's I'll be able to work for a company within the Animation or Game Development industry.

When growing up i've always been a quiet child, always observing my surrounds and people in order to get a better understand on how to respond to others in society. I barely tired holding conversations to others and put most of my time and effort coloring, drawing, playing games, and etc. On the surface level many people view me as an extremely sweet person and observant, often associating me to being the smart student/nerd in the classroom. While on the micro level my personality reflects the saying "actions speak louder than words". On how I'll always keep true to what I said to the best of my abilities.

When growing up I've faced many difficulties like many other people. I thought I'll be the type to never really change dramatically if someone entered or left my life. However as I got older and saw that some people are more likely to be snakes than humans interacted with me, I learned to distant myself from them in order for me to learn to respect and love myself.
