About
Would "pissed off to greatness" be too strong of an opening statement.? Probably. I believe in honesty (aka real talk) and I believe in phenomenal amounts of effort. These two qualities have proven to far more valuable than natural talent. I constantly strive to be excellent while simultaneously saturating whatever I do with personality. I love being in a position where I can share my passion for design with coworkers and students.
