About Me

My love for art started with sloppy crayon drawings on the walls, then progressed to fine point pencil drawings on paper. I wanted to create art for a living, but I wanted it to mean more than just expressing my own ideas. I wanted my art to solve problems that other people had. When I learned about Graphic Design, it sounded exactly like where I needed to be! Having worked in the industry for few years now, I can say that my drive to create the best solution for anyones design problems still shines bright!
