I am very self motivated and very passionate about design. I tend to give more then expected when it comes to problem solving or even the simplest of tasks. Looking at things with a designers eye has been a great asset that i have come to attain. I'm always looking to the best i can within any given project, but i know it can be better. I believe it's a personal strive of mine to make things timeless and Iconic. If i have worked on something that can be recognized globally, then i think i have done my job. I also like to give back. I have been involved in a few programs within inner city High School students, teaching them and making them aware of Design. Its a great feeling to share something as special and niche as Design. I believe that the ability to draw is one thing, but to be able to tell a story without words through a visual 2d language is the best multi-lingual translator there is. I love to work with people of different backgrounds and experiences.
