About Me
I’m a San Diego-based graphic designer who is interested in pursuing VFX, 3D modeling, logo and branding design, and AI creative fields. I’m passionate about optimizing the latest technology to make our best ideas come to life. I have a strong belief in the value of self-discipline and authenticity. I enjoy creative environments where I can work either independently or with a team.
My education includes taking courses from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, CSU Fullerton, and achieving my Associate’s degree from MiraCosta College.
I have spent many years traveling across the country living an extremely minimalist lifestyle and creating art and videos along the way. I've lived out of a backpack and hopped freight trains and hitchhiked to get around, as well as spending some time living out of a cars, vans, and RV's as well. I have met lots of interesting people from all types of backgrounds and have been inspired by them. I also take a lot of inspiration from the many national parks across the US that I've visited.
With so many diverse experiences, I have an array of fresh perspectives and understand the transformative power of branding - both for companies and individuals.
I enjoy exploring as many creative disciplines as I can. I have a fine art background and have lots of experience with detail work when it comes to painting, using charcoal, and drawing. For the past couple of years, I have slowly been making the transition to more digital-based work.
The many creative disciplines I venture in include photography (with DSLR cameras and lenses), video filming, editing, and production, cinematography, painting, realistic charcoal portraits, pen & pencil drawing, logo design, interior design, studio lighting effects, food science, cooking & plating, handwriting and cursive, craft-making, fabric sewing and patch design, Midjourney AI creation, online business marketing and sales, photo manipulation, creating AR face filters for social media, 3D modeling and texture design, and more.
I’m always interested in growing my skills and optimizing business strategies.
