I have been a creative my entire life. From the beginning, I was either drawing cartoons or building models in my room. I was continuously looking for an outlet to satisfy my creativity. I was blessed to have an amazing High School Art teacher who inspired me to continue in Art as my Career. I applied to only one College; The College for Creative Studies near where I lived in the Detroit area. It was a time when Computer graphics was in it’s early stages and at the time CCS only had one Computer Graphics class which of course, was always full. I was forced to continue learning the arts the traditional way, by hand. I drew, painted, airbrushed & hand lettered all my projects. I look back now and I wouldn’t change a thing. Of course, I eventually picked up the Computer as another tool I can use, but I still love to draw, paint & create by hand.I have worked as a Designer, an Illustrator, a Retoucher, an Art Director and a Creative Director, but to me, it’s just a way to have fun doing what I love to do; Create. It could be a logo or a Campaign. Telling a story through my creativity is my passion.When I’m not working on Creative projects, you can most likely find me at a concert with my family & friends. It's our favorite activity & I love seeing music performed live. I even have been known to jump in a mosh pit from time to time.Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) focused in Illustration / Design from College for Creative Studies, Detroit, MI.
