As a graduate from San José State's rigorous BFA Graphic Design program, my approach to design is a healthy balance between untethered experimentation and thoughtful craftsmanship. I often look to the great designers of the past to find out what makes their work so effective. Then I try to bring those same qualities to my own projects. My nerdy side also tends to infiltrate my designs through references to comics, films, and music. I am always looking for ways to use my skills to help others both inside and outside of my design career.
