Desire' Johnson
I've been experimenting in the arts for upward of ten years now. I have advanced abilities in oil painting, drawing, mixing medias, and design. I have a deep knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite. My strengths include timeliness, creative problem solving, communication of ideas, and quick learning.

2016-2017: Associates in Interdisciplinary Studies from Nicholls State University. I studied a variety of subjects at Nicholls to broaden my knowledge base.
2013-2016: High School Diploma from Louisiana School of Math, Science and the Arts. This is a competitive, residential high school that I was accepted to at the age of 14.
