About Me
Who’s Beks?!
When COVID-19 was at its height, it forced everybody to remain inside their homes. To keep myself engaged, I️ decided to create art again. This was the best decision I️ could’ve made!
With the encouragement of my peers, I️ informally started my business in 2022. All it took was one recommendation for me to have my first client. The very first flyer I️ did was for Savannah State’s E-Board Vice President.
Being that I attend an HBCU (NC A&T), many students are very passionate about running for leadership opportunities, meaning an extravagant campaign must accompany it. So, that’s where I️ come in! This newfound love for graphic design has allowed me to explore many avenues.
To remain creative and practice my skills, I️ serve as the Creative Director at NC A&T Campus Recreation Center and volunteer my talents to various organizations on campus.
Created by Beks🎨 is a creative outlet where I highlight personal projects and complete custom orders. I love all art mediums; therefore, my work will cover a large spectrum.
At the age of seven, I was an entrepreneur. I was an artist, specializing in drawing cartoon characters, portraits, or anything the customer wanted. The majority of my work was created in my afterschool program, Park District, as I had lots of free time and encountered most of my customers there. The demographic of my customers was mostly parents who respected my hustle. That's why pick-up time was money time. My prices ranged from $1 to $5; I thought I was rich. Sadly, so did the supervisor and principal, as they shut my operation down. I became a struggling artist. Immediately, I began to think of alternative ways to sell my art. My brother would have tennis practice in the park, so I would stay in the area and sell my work to parents. Luckily, this time no guidelines were stopping me. My love of art has allowed me to carry a mindset of a go-getter, inside and outside the classroom.
