Interests:
My Dad always said, “ If your not learning your dying” and I have really taken that saying to heart. Everyday I go out of my way to learn new things and better myself as a designer. I like to expand my creative mind by utilizing all facets of the arts in my daily routine. In my spare time I like to read art/design books to perfect my design skills as well as fiction novels for fun. I get a lot of inspiration from watching movies and listening to a wide range of music. Before I was a graphic designer I was an artist, so in order to maintain my artistic roots I make sure to express myself on canvas every chance I get.
