I Crave doing what I love,
To Create
Hi! My name is Sabina Scholnick. I recently graduated from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, where I pursued a degree in Graphic Design/Studio Art. Art has always been central to my life, providing a means to not only create what I love but also to carve out my own unique path in appreciating its beauty. This website showcases a broad array of my work, including digital media, typography for companies, watercolor pieces, video effects, figure drawings, film poster production, magazine layouts, collaging, and sketchbook renderings.
The diverse samples you find here demonstrate my ability to meet and exceed the creative demands presented to me. My academic and practical experiences have prepared me to deliver not just 100% but 110% effort in all my professional endeavors. With a strong drive and a unique artistic perspective, I strive to produce work that is distinctive and impactful.
In addition to my artistic pursuits, I am also a model. I demonstrate my versatility and commitment to visually representing a brand's ethos.
I hope this portfolio enlightens you about my capabilities as an artist and model, and leaves you with a clear impression of the scope of what I can achieve.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work.
