some of my work

Whenever I begin a new project, before I start clicking away, I like getting dirty. As far as I know, a little graphite and rubber never hurt anybody.

As much as I love seeing a finished piece live and breathe, I respect the creative process. A few sheets of tracing paper, a couple of pencils and a trusty eraser are the foundations of a great design.

Life and design can be approached the same way—the destination is important, but so is the journey.

The links on the left will guide you through my portfolio. As a note, the work I have presented here is primarily from my studies in school. All brands are copyrighted by their respective owners.
