Painting, Movies and hanging out with my dog
In my free time I love to paint with all different types of mediums but predominantly acrylics and oils. Movies are what inspires most of my ideas when it comes to thinking of imagery and aesthetics. My mind is usually always in creative mode. My dog is just a great dog and as long as we're together I am happy.
Additional Information
College is where I honed most of my skills as a designer. I am still new to the job scene and want to work and gain experience, as much as I can. My ultimate goal right now is to be designing in Portland, facing new creative challenges, and making connections with those who are far more knowledgeable than I am.
