They say every five years we become a new person. I can safely say, “that is me.”
Nearly five years ago, I was on a journey to become an art conservator. Five years before that, I was in computer engineering.
And five years before that, I graduated high school with certifications in IT and a minor in Mathematics and English.
All those steps I took have led me to here.
Where’s here?
Graphic Design.
Funnily enough, I’ve come full circle. In high school, I wanted to be an illustrator and do cool designs, but outside
influences and personal shortcomings guided me away from that desire. That’s the pain and beauty of life. That’s the pain
and beauty of creating a good story; it never goes where you want or where you expect, but exactly where you need.
The following portfolio showcases the culmination of my design, illustration, and photography skills. Each assignment
has it’s own story shaped by techniques and filled with the emotions that created them.
