Who am I?

Who am I? *
Through my work I seek to create and see my designs come to life, based on my clients needs within graphic design, as well as motion graphics, and video production. Currently I achieve this by working with the Adobe suite, specifically Illustrator, Indesign and Premiere Pro and After Effects.
My love for this medium is lifelong with a background in computer science and a love for typography. I actively seek out typography, logo marks and other graphics in the world around me, collecting a catalog of ideas in my head and on photos. Specifically in graphic design, I turn my focus more towards advertising and marketing, with an emphasis on typographic design. I have also had experience in animation and motion graphics.
Design is everywhere and bad design is frequent, but good design is important and can change the way we perceive things for the better. My goal is to create designs that inspire people even in a minor way. Especially in an ever-changing world with advancements in technology, I think it is important to stay creative and true to my process. I like to incorporate humor into my work whenever possible, because it can leave a lasting impression, help people stay engaged, and who doesn't enjoy a good laugh? Humor can be universally recognized for the most part and in connection with a company logo that can help the brand be recognized and appreciated.
