Hi there, well this is to help you get to know who I am and what I am about.

Since I was a little kid, I was always into art and design. I started with freehand drawing and as I got older I decided to broaden my skills. In high school I took various art courses, mechanical drafting and computer design. I never really had any creative influences, I just found myself picking up a pen or pencil and sketching something out.

At first I wasn't fond of using a computer to create and design. It was very constricting and difficult to create my concepts on a computer screen instead of down on paper. So for a while I would avoid using design software like the plague. That was until I joined with my current employer, originally I was hired for an office assistant. My company manufactures home and garden products, which they had outsides sources create products for them. Needless to say my talent for design was found useful here. I started by designing all my companies products by hand but, after a few years I realized that I could improve on my productivity if I did my work on a computer. That was almost seven years ago and since then I have been using multiple design applications. I have found that the computer is a fantastic way to create and conceptualize.

In my spare time I like to take my talent in a different direction which may consist of auto design, logos, funny artwork just about anything that may strike my interest at the time. My interests are very vast and there isn't one category that I would fall into.

I also have a huge passion for music, there isn't any one type that I like. I feel that if it sounds good, there's no reason not to enjoy it. Some might say that I am stuck in the past by some of what I listen to, but then isn't that why we have classic rock, pop or R&B?

In addition, I am also very big on movies and video games. You could say I am a kid that just didn't want to grow up. However, I feel that the "I don't want to grow up" concept is what keeps my mind free for creative thought. Who doesn't like to let loose and get lost in a action flick or great video game?

Recently, I have started to travel more than I ever have and enjoyed seeing some of the world. Some places I have been to maybe a bit cliche' but still fun for me. From getting married at Walt Disney World to traveling to Jamaica for a spring vacation, I want to see the world.
