Throughout my school career, my notebooks were often filled with more drawings and doodles than actual notes. Even from my earliest memories, I recall being fascinated by the interaction of light and color: the patterns and emotions created by stacking one color of LEGO brick on top of another; the contrast between my mother's bright red coat and the brilliant white field of snow in which we stood. This journey of artistic development was long and winding, as I traveled the world and dabbled in different careers in fields as diverse as writing, truck driving, chemistry and even baking. Through it all, however, I remained interested in creating and viewing art. In particular, the bright, bold colors of the graphic arts captured and held my attention. I enrolled in the graphic design program at Colorado State University and never looked back. As I progressed through the program, I exposed myself to the work of designers past and present, from Saul Bass to Jessica Hische. Ultimately, I discovered my strengths in illustration, typography and web design. I now aim to help make the world a more engaging and beautiful place through the power of good design and visual communication.Student worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
