About

I've worked heavily in graphic art for apparel in the fashion industry for the past 10 years. I've had the pleasure of working for many top-selling world wide companies such as Hot Topic, American Fighter, Punishment, Spencers, Journey's, Foot Locker, Perry Ellis, Calvin Klein, Gotcha, Grail, Aeropostale, etc. I currently live in Arizona and do freelance graphic/logo design, corporate branding & identity, apparel design, web-design, photography/photo manipulation & retouching, custom tattoo design, fine art...basically anything artistic & creative, I'm into it. I am very detail oriented, work quickly & efficiently, and always meet due dates and deadlines and I'm always looking to take on new and exciting projects.
