Illustrator + Designer
I am a live wire. I am a hard working self-starter that has creativity in his blood. My Grandpa was literally a rocket scientist and I inherited that fierce problem solving. I've used the Last year and a half at my current job to sharpen my craft in CS4 and I am ready to unleash that in a more varied and challenging direction. I am an extremely versatile artist and designer ready to marry my skills and education to your projects.
