I received an Associates in Arts and Sciences from Heartland Community College and then a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Illinois State University. After interning at BCAI School of Arts, I went on to design for the music festival North Coast at Northerly Island and eventually Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. as a contractor. Today, I continue to freelance and practice my creative work while balancing my full-time design career.
I’m very meticulous and observant, which comes into account during my creative process. After gathering enough research and presenting a mood board, I visually piece together drafts that follow clear-cut guidelines or concepts for a project. I always uphold the integrity of a piece, and there is careful thought in every decision I make. It’s equally, if not more, important that the final product exceeds the client’s needs and is punctually presented.
I’m a car enthusiast, a music connoisseur, an anime lover, and a man of many talents. Nonetheless, at the end of the day I’m a designer who believes in leaving a positive impression on everyone I encounter and exceeding expectations. Acclimating to new groups is second nature to me since I'm never afraid to meet new people or collaborate with a team. This holds true in my designs and in my life.
"Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought." —Leonardo da Vinci
