My name is Ashley Solano. I’ve recently become an STA, though I’ve been working with the Mezes Computer Lab since August. I did some scanning and color-correcting before and now do mostly vector work. I’m hoping to learn some coding and sharpen my vectoring skills.
I’m a third-year Japanese major with a love for vectoring, cosplay, TF2, and teaching myself guitar. My dream job would be becoming a Video Game Developer (more specifically a VG artist) and I’m hoping to reach that through STA and EGaDS, which I’ve been active in since February. I’ve also recently landed myself a sweet gig as Co-Events Officer of EGaDS.
