About

I have always been fortunate to have the ability to draw, so when searching for a college where I could play football, I discussed possibly becoming an architect. I was pointed in the direction of graphic design by a coach that I met with and I have to say, it was the perfect match me.

I like to think I can bring out my artistic ability in my graphic design work, whether it is drawing a character or piece of art in Illustrator or working in Photoshop to alter an image to match my vision. My favorite thing about the Adobe Suite is the interchangeable programs, it makes life very easy when I can draw something in Illustrator and manipulate the same image in Photoshop before I bring it into InDesign to finish the product.

Please enjoy my portfolio, my contact information is in my profile.
