WHO AM I?
I am a graphic designer and multimedia artist. I travel, sketch, paint, design and observe. Graphic design became the way to go in order to learn, grow and experiment in the commercial world. My experience covers the creative spectrum from branding, illustration, environmental graphics, web design, digital and print publication layout, print making, advertising, strategy, fine art, and much more.
Type, color, form, structure and design construction shape how we see and interact with the world. I embrace those principles, seek to develop new ideas, and share them with others through my personal and professional work.
