Greetings, my name is Breionna Dillon, I am a Chicago native who has received her Bachelor's of Fine Arts from the Illinois of Art Institutes-Chicago in Graphic Design. With the concretion skills of HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and beginner levels of Wordpress theme development, Digital Photography, Print Production, Editorial Design and Brand Identity and Development. My photography portfolio includes but is not limited to Glamour, Portraiture, Engagement/Weddings, and Newborn. Outside of learning new skills and being a student, I have managed to start my own freelance design studio called Forever Creations Media.
With my freelance studio, I have design professional branding standards, customary stationery sets for weddings, photography, and web design and front-end development. My main objective as a designer is to nurture, and grow my skills to become a better designer than I was yesterday, and one day become an Art Director. I love to inspire other designers and help them properly grow. To nurture their talents and help them succeed. I love to break the rules of designing because rules are meant to be broken to learn from an alternative perspective.
