About Me

My introduction to design came in 2008, when I started a business aqua culturing coral and servicing marine aquariums. Not long after starting my business, I was offered a position as a graphic designer for Carousel Checks. Every day since, I've woken up with a creative itch that can most easily be satisfied by designing. When I'm not designing I love to express my creativity in other ways, whether it's amatuer videography, or trying to come up with my own website ideas.
