My interests in the arts stem from my drawing ability as a child. Even young (7 yrs old) I was showing signs of promise winning numerous art contests in my elementary school.

Up until senior year in high school, I was only interested in the print side of graphic arts since I had strong freehand abilities.

My freshman year in college a revolutionary new tool help me peak the levels of my creative abilities...the computer. My first digital imaging course proved quite intimidating as my knowledge of computers was limited. Nevertheless, I embraced this strange new technique and took my art to the next level.

I used to think that computers robbed the freehand artist, cheapening the trade and offering to any hack with sufficient computer knowledge to do so. My experiences proved quite the opposite as I found the knack of design and aesthetic harmony was still required for this type of craft as well.

I graduated in 2002 finally with my AAS in Sequential Graphic Arts delving into many aspects of the design community. Within my schooling I received many honors such as The Award for Student Excellence for Part Time Students (1999) for a 4.0 GPA and making the Dean's List (2001). Now I am searching for my career in design and sharing what I love to do.
