About Me:

At a young age I took a interest in Art, Over the years my tool of choice has changed from Crayola Markers and Crayons, to Adobe Photoshop and illustrator, but my passion for art and design is still the same. My a passion for art continued to grow thought out my years in high school, and I new this is what I wanted to do with my life. Once I graduated, I decided to take the college route. During my first year in college, I was offered a job working for consultant firm in Chicago. After accepting the position I dropped out of college to work full time as there graphic designer. This gave me and opportunity to build my portfolio and use my skills in the real world. I did everything from flyers and business cards to logo and banners for events. This is also where I got my first taste of web-design which I completely fell in love with. Soon I found myself wanting to work with web design more and more. I found another job at a small web development company out of a southwest suburb of Chicago. There was able to learn the insides and out of what it took to make high powered websites, with out compromising creativity. I enjoyed working there however long hours and little interaction with clients made me look else where. After alot of the thought and careful plaining I decided to go freelance full time. I haven’t looked back since Being a freelance web and graphic designer allows me to do what I love on my own terms.
