A Little About Me

I have been in love with design and illustration since I could pick up a pencil. When I was a small child, I discovered life through drawing. Through the years of growing up design and illustration became an extension of who I am. So much so, I do not believe I would be really good at much else with the exception of the law, which I love to read about.

I grew up in the high desert where four seasons were mild, mountain views plentiful, and wildlife abundant. I love to hike and explore, and this fueled another interest which as I grew, I realized became a passion for protecting and preserving wildlife. I am an avid conservationist and strongly feel the animals of this earth belong here and should be allowed to roam freely just as mankind wishes to do.

I spend as much time as possible exploring the sea and oceans. The beauty of the rolling continuum that so magically comes to life is one to behold. Sailing and being near the salt air refreshes the soul and speaks volumes.

Considering my education, I first discovered Photoshop and the Adobe Creative Suite while taking my AA degree at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona. I then studied Communication Arts at UCLA and Sessions College of Design before completing my Bachelor of Arts Degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Graphic Design and Illustration. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Visual Communication Design and my Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design from Liberty University.
