Natural HighI have a big outgoing personality and am naturally hyper. I am generally always happy and have a smile that is 100% contagious like a laugh to turn a frown upside down.
It won't be too often that you will find me sad but I do have my days. I always seem to have something to say so there can be times I will have a whole story to tell, just as I put into my work. |
Military drivenSpending 7 1/2 years in the Navy around different types of ropes and lines, anything I come across will remind me of tying knots as a Boatswains Mate, which always had to be secure.
Being a Navy Veteran, I always try to be punctual, have attention-to-detail, produce quality results, and dependable and reliable. I was trained to know that those are some of the most important qualities that civilian companies look for. |
creativity is everywhereNo matter where I am, there is always something I find a creative element in. Just like the 2016 SXSW mural above. I always have to stop what I am doing and mentally digest how a design is put together from pencil and paper to its final output.
Many of my designs are created from old school "pencil and paper" because sometimes, we can create better with a black and white outline. |

Creative vision |
Creative minds should be able to me meshed with some type of music in the background. I will generally default to the 80s stations on Pandora.
I love the decade so much, I even designed some dingbats in Illustrator to solidify my obsession with the genre. |
Sometimes the best design I do are done on paper. Just with good old fashioned pencil.
I learned layout design this way as shown above when creating my first 2-page spread. When I learned InDesign creating digital layouts, this was the starting point, on paper. |
