I am a passionate and dedicated graphic designer, a graduate from The Art Institute of California - San Francisco, and to me, graphic design is like a car. Some see an automobile as a work of art, something to be cherished and appreciated, while others see it as a mere necessity, a way to get from point A to point B. To one person, design may be way to express themselves, a passion or an ideal, using one of the most expressive mediums in the world. To others, however, design is merely a necessity, something taken for granted.
As a designer, my task is to make graphic design more than just a means communicating a message ; to make use of design as a paintbrush rather than appliance. When I look at a classic car, admiring it's curves and shine and the way it feels to be behind the wheel, it is the same feeling I get when I have a pencil or a mouse in my hand, and can turn a collection of shapes, colors, letters and numbers into something truly special.
Skills and Knowledge: Typography, Photography, Package Design, Publication Layout, Traditional Illustration, Branding and Marketing, Photo Manipulation and Restoration, Video Editing.
Software Aptitudes: Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects and Microsoft Office.
