About Me

My early interest in art, design and creativity has had a positive impact in my life. As a young boy I would often be found drawing and doodling instead of doing my school work. In high school I found an outlet for this creativity through classes like; woodshop, ceramics, art and silkscreening. After high school I pursued my interest in the graphic arts and attended Platt college and received an Associates Degree in graphic design.

I have become very well versed in designing vector art and I specialize in designing logos and illustrations. However am knowledgeable and experienced in many other focuses. I enjoy learning new things and broadening my knowledge about art, design, graphics and photography.

I am a very organized person and find peace in a clean environment. I have good attention to detail. I am very loyal and trustworthy.

I am interested in all aspects of art; graphic design, graffiti art, tattoo art and photography. Growing up at the beach I enjoy watersports; bodyboarding, bodysurfing. Loving the urban life indulged in sports like; skateboarding, rollerblading, biking as well as mountain sports; snowboarding, camping and hiking. I couldn’t live without all types of music.
