I am a Graphic Designer and Photographer from San Francisco and based in Palm Springs, California. I have been self taught for over 16 years and strongly believe in two principles; education starts when you step out of the classroom and you learn something new everyday. <br /> <br />I have been an artist since the age of 7, drawing for family, friends and myself. When computers and graphic arts technology became more available I had the opportunity to express my art and creativity through digital designs. I created my very first logo 16 years ago for my father's start up company. I had to use the program, Paint since Photoshop wasn’t available. <br /> <br />Hours of time and pixels later my work was finished. My father was so proud of what I accomplished that he hired me to work for his company from that day forward. Once I was introduced to Photoshop, my mind opened up to the incredible possibilities of design. I read books and searched the net for anything I needed to learn <br /> <br />I began by networking through friends and family and was able to utilize my skills to create a part time job for my self as a freelance graphic designer. Through the years I've been able to adopt other skills with in the industry such as web design, photography and videography and more. I am proud to say that through hard work and the right opportunities I was able to turn that "part time" job into this full time career.
