A bit about me
I have always loved art. Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by the ability art has to influence how we think and feel. It amazed me that a certain movie could bring us to tears, a song could fill us with energy, a painting could make us look at the world differently. I found art to be a powerful communication tool, and it made a lasting impression.
If you had asked me when I was 5 what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “power ranger” without batting an eye. If you had asked 9-year-old me, I would have presented you with my fossil collection and told you “paleontologist,” and by 12 I was certain I would become an architect. In high school, I played water polo and swam competitively, learned to play guitar, and fell in love with writing and philosophy. Yet despite my many other passions in life, I would always come back to art.
In the midst of all my other interests, I continued to draw and develop my artistic skills. By the time I was in my senior year of high school, I knew I had to find a career that allowed me to be creative, but I had no idea what that was.
Then I learned about graphic design. I discovered that graphic design has an interesting and unique history of its own, and I was immediately drawn in. It presented me with the challenge of taking a concept and finding a way to convey it artistically. To become a visual problem solver and think critically about the way people perceive artwork. It allowed me the freedom to create, and the power to influence the way people look at things. To this day, I find great satisfaction in being able to communicate ideas through art.
