Designer. Father.
Musician.

Formally trained. Never finished learning.

I have an Associate's Degree in Design — and that gave me the foundation: design principles, layout, color theory, the vocabulary of visual communication. But a degree has never been a ceiling for me. It was a starting point.

I've spent my entire life studying and practicing design in every form I could find. Oil painting. 3D modeling. Typography. Motion graphics. Photography. Video. If there was an application, a tool, or a discipline that could make me better, I pursued it — not because I had to, but because I couldn't help myself.

"Color theory isn't just something I studied. It's something I've painted, printed, filmed, and posted for over two decades."

That obsession with craft is what turned a design education into a full creative toolkit. Today I'm running Meta ad campaigns, shooting product photography, editing video on a Blackmagic 6K, and designing print materials — sometimes all for the same client in the same week.

When I'm not designing, I'm making music.

I've been a musician my whole life — and I mean that broadly. I produce hip hop and EDM, play guitar across every genre, and perform in a band. From a beat built in a DAW to a guitar riff in a rehearsal room, music has always been how I stay creatively alive.

Music and design aren't as different as people think. Both are about timing, composition, contrast, and emotion. Both require you to listen — really listen — to what the work needs, not just what you want it to be.

Being a producer taught me to hear the whole picture, not just my part in it. That perspective follows me into every project I design.
