Graphic Designer

Graphic design is something that has been innate within me ever since I can remember. However, I didn't always know it was called graphic design.

As a born artist, I consider myself a keen observer of the natural world around me. Visual annomilies interest me and inspire me to recreate what I see whether its a tangible concept, or an ethereal idea; in most cases its a conglomeration of the two.

I look forward to exploring the endless possibilities of what we call "ART".
