I drew the paletero resting along his ice cream cart outside of my family's doorstep,
the six finger man ringing up my twenty-five cents hot Cheetoes at the corner convenience store after school, the big bellied
meat butcher with the bloody apron at the local super market, the neighborhood couple 'secretly' making out in the alley every
evening, the local gang harassing unfamiliar faces or pouncing on unwilling tag-a-longs during my brother's baseball games and
the sunsets ending just above the viaduct on Western Ave. Drawing has long been recognized as a tool to develop observation skills.
That explains how I ended up
in this industry.

Considering the 'starving artist' cliche,
I looked into graphic design my senior year of highschool and enrolled at The International Academy of Design and Technology in Chicago immediately
following graduation. I expeditiously prevailed becoming well known amongst my peers and professors and later finished my degree at Westwood College in
Chicago as a top student. Since, I have acquired new skills and have dedicated a great majority of my time creating, learning and
challenging myself as a designer. My initial interest in illustration led to a devotion for digital imaging, to a new
thrive for Web design.
Today, I work to achieve established values and acceptance and thrive to transform the idea, the judgement, and the aesthetic value into tangible "natural" reality.
Personal Interests:
