Allow me to reintroduce myself.
I am a creative soul powered by the energies of my inner child, designer, animator and art director.
My Origin Story
At an early age, I was transported to the universe of art & design through pop culture and music. I marveled at the “Soul Train” as it danced through the city on the tv. The colorful smoke from its wheels sparked my vivid imagination. Creativity infused into my DNA as I watched a constant stream of iconic movies like Star Wars and Superman. My eyesight sharpened on the logos of my favorite movies and comic book heroes during my childhood.
My passion for design grew as I consumed more of it in the world all around me. I trained in the ways of graphic design in college. One fateful afternoon, my father told me of a dream he had where I boldly displayed my talents to the world. With heartfelt determination, I began to develop my creative powers and battle test them through various creative roles in the industry.
Experienced and ready for battle, my calling is to help energize those in need of a creative boost.
