I have been interested in art for as long as I can remember, and have made it my job to take as many art related classes as possible. I was formally trained in traditional media before I entered RIT, but decided on Graphic Design as my major because I love what the computer had/has to offer in the creative field. Some of my former training includes drawing, photography, and jewelry making.
Because I grew up with these more traditional methods, I love incorporating them into my works today. Even though I am immersed in an entirely digital world, it does not stop me from combining the old and the new. I just love the idea of utilizing different techniques and art worlds to create one cohesive piece. Over the years, I have realized my love for working with imagery such as photography, and diving into the idea of creating my own lettering through the means of traditional
calligraphy and hand-lettering.
I draw inspiration from various things. Whenever I am stuck in a rut, I listen to music I love or browse through various art blogs on the internet. But my inspiration is not limited to those two things. My muses are found everywhere: From Richard Avedon to Lady Gaga, or from illustration to Japanese Animation, from my own neighborhood to far away destinations. I like to keep my mind open, and explore anything that just might lead to the next idea. Read Less
