I am Tarina Peterson and my passion is Graphic Design. I've lived in Texas for the past 9 years and have a degree in Communication Design from the University of North Texas. I'm currently living on Long Island, having put all my possessions in storage and moving halfway across the country in order to pursue my design dreams.

I got into graphic design through web sites. It began as a hobby but my love and passion for it grew to the point that I had to pursue it as a career. The program at UNT was hard and all-consuming, but ultimately fulfilling.

A few random things — my second passion is horseback riding. A hobby which amuses my NY friends as it is, apparently, completely typical of a Texan. I love to travel and experience new things. I also have a fascination with nature documentaries.
