Designer, Ebony Allen Age, 20
My name is Ebony Allen, I am a graphic designer. I been drawing cartoons since I was five years old. Through out my childhood I had Apraxia of Speech (CAS). This drove me to be a silent child which sharpened my other senses, like my sight helped me visualized color and shapes.
