About

Art is in my genetic code. I have been an artist since I could first pick up a pencil. According to my mother, I drew my first shapes (perfectly) at only 18 months.

Now I am planning to pursue a Master's or Certificate in Graphic Design. I want to take my artistic talents apply them to a more lucrative career field.

I want to do it all -- creative direction, graphic design, logo design, cartooning, fashion branding -- anything that I can put my artistic mind to. My main goal is to be happy with what I am doing and to share my creations with the world.
