I am a junior high student and my Dyslexic Super Power gives me my artistic strength. I started the business to share my art and give back to charities working on making the world a better place. Most of my designs start with a photograph and then I draw over the image with my iPad/pencil. I put the art on greeting cards, notepads, journals and totes.
