Ok, enough talking in third person its lowkey weird, I’ll give you a quick overview of who I am, cool? So first thing to know about me is that I’m experienced, not new to this design stuff. I first stumbled into it over 15 years old with a copy of Photoshop CS3 that I “acquired.” I got it because I wanted to design some custom sneakers and my cousin told me “man there is this computer program you can use to make ANYTHING!” From the first moment I opened Photoshop and it told me my scratch disk was full I was hooked.

Fast forward I kept going down the rabbit hole and eventually found out that I could actually pay bills making cool shit! Since then I’ve worked in house, for an agency, freelance, during the day, during the night and everything in between. The story of how I got here involves cleaning shit (literally), getting to help a friend get married in outer space, playing a life changing game of Street Fighter and even getting mentored by an addict on the art of hand lettering.

All this to say if you wanna know more I’m down to talk. Don’t be shy I promise I’m not as mean or intense as that crisp black and white photo may showcase.

But to give a quick run of what you can expect here are a few tidbits on who I am.
