I love design and art. I also love giving back where I can to help people. Sketching, doodling, and coloring has always been a passion of mine ever since I was a kid. I guess making a mess and scribbling on walls and getting yelled at didn’t make sense back then, but I it does now :). Throughout the years of learning and focusing on my skills and abilities as an individual I found that all things have a function and a purpose. The beauty of art and design is that it can be in many forms and in all places. As people we love to think of innovative ways to make things concise, intuitive, appealing to our senses, and to the world. Imagination is powerful, and it is the key to our creativity. The freedom of creativity is what ultimately influenced me to become a Graphic Designer.

 

My goal is grow as an individual and to help people do the same, and with graphic design I can do so in a creative way. I can achieve this through creating a brand, a movement, an identity for people, businesses, and artists alike.

 

When I’m not working I research, read, and learn about new things. I believe that knowledge is one of the most important skills to have. I love meeting new people and sharing stories, so tell me a story and I will share mine. I also have strong family core values. If I am not researching I am out fixing cars, screen printing t-shirts, doing handy work; or I am out being active and participating in activities like basketball, bicycling, and football. I am passionate and positive about life and I love to be adventurous and to travel whenever I can.

 

In all, what makes me a special graphic designer is that I am a multidisciplinary in many skills; I am a fast learner, that’s also tech savvy, and that can adapt to new challenges easily. As an individual I always strive to accomplish my goals I set to the best of my abilities, and in doing so to never stop inspiring others to do the same.
