I have always been fascinated by three major creative fields: Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. After completing an enlistment in the United States Marine Corps I went on to tackle a new chapter in my life.. college.
I completed my Associates of Arts in Graphic Design & Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic and Web Design at the Art Institute of Washington. I've always been influenced by storytelling, functionality, and colors.
My passion for art began with sidewalk chalk, which grew to drawing and altering my coloring book characters to discovering Graphic Design. I soon adopted it as a career along side Illustration; the two worked well together. Self taught and constantly experimenting with new traditional mediums and techniques, I like to challenge myself with different subjects.
To bring my visions to life, I work with different kinds of media, from photography to 3D and vector to traditional drawing collage or mixed media. The way of combining all those elements helped me to develop a very unique graphic style with a colorful bright color palette and heart warming feelings.
Art is my therapy, my passion, where I go to on my best or worst days.
