Over the course of my studies in design, I have been taught to always have a reason behind the design; what message is conveyed with this choice of color? Will this composition convey the ideas I am trying to present? Asking these questions and allowing the work to answer them has been one of the greatest lessons I have learned as an artist. As a designer, my goal is to marry these ideas into work that both captivates and confirms the message it is trying to convey; as an artist, my goal is to take these same ideals and apply them to the way I'd like to see the world. Expose what is ugly, create based on morality, and strive for excellence in all that you do.Student worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
