I'm intrinsically motivated to exceed expectations.

Hyper-focused. Ridiculously fast. Insane attention to detail. That's how people describe my work ethic. My approach to design is keeping things simple, intuitive and practical. I have an inner drive to succeed in everything I do. That's why I have several interests within the arts, and I've striven to become a master in every one: Digital design, illustration, animation, traditional painting, photography. They're all my passion, and they all influence the way I work.

 

Education + Experience
 

I hold a major in Industrial Design from the Academy of Art University and a BS in Graphic Design + Visual Communications from Westwood College. I've worked at the Chicago Music Exchange and SmartPractice as a graphic designer and animator, and I've worked at University of Phoenix as a web and UX designer. I currently work at FLAVORx as the web and graphic designer.
 

 

Finding Inspiration
 

I usually look to nature to find inspiration. Beyond that, I find inspiration in everyday interactions and try to mimic that familiarity in my designs. I find wonder in the universe and try to read, watch, and experience every aspect of the natural world in order to apply what I've learned to my designs. I also love finding inspiration in automobile design, industrial design and architecture.
