Graphic Designer
By devouring things that intrigues and fuels the imagination, an artist can create a new concept and feature inspirations found through other works. My process of how a concept is developed, experimented with and stretched beyond the limitations aides me in better designing the work to communicate the message to its fullest. I abide by the motto of taking something from elsewhere that speaks to my soul and inspires me to convert it into something of my own.
