about
Sure, here's a refined version:
---
I'm a full-time designer in higher education and artist (CelticPopArt) based in Southern California. My design and marketing career spans print and digital work across industries such as consumer products, outdoor recreation, events, and higher education. As a lifelong learner, I've expanded my skills to include UI/UX, video editing, and motion graphics.
I studied design in the UK, earning a BA in 3-D Design from Bath Spa University, and pursued graduate studies in the History of Art and Design, as well as Marketing Management, at Manchester Metropolitan University. 
My art is nature-inspired, reimagining my photography through digital media. I draw inspiration from the flora and fauna I encounter on trails, beaches, and in my backyard to create original, eclectic designs with a twist. CelticPopArt is a playful nod to my European heritage, and the Pop Art movement, blending vibrant colors, wit, and imagery.
