I was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey, a quaint, suburban region of the Garden State. After living there for 10 years, I moved to Ellenton, Florida for better education opportunities. After finishing high school, I obtained an Associates in Science in Graphic Design at the State College of Florida, along with becoming an Adobe Certified Associate. I am currently studying at the University of Tampa to obtain a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Among my interests in Graphic Design, I show an affection for the stylings of Russian constructivism and occasionally indulge in painted design media.
I take a methodical approach to design. The priority in my design process is acquiring information. I research design books, journals, work of other designers, and the art around me for inspiration. After sifting through enough works to compile a reasonable knowledge base, I begin designing from different combinations of my inspiration. I experiment frequently and make a variety of designs that all tie into the theme generated from my research. Once the project has been done, I take the information that I collected from my research and archive it, to be used when the next project is given. My method is one that I’ve utilized in all my works and I take great care to make informed decisions at every turn, backed by proper research.
