adding a little design to the world
how it started:
I'd escape the real world, doodling anything my little
creative mind could muster. I began with giant cone-shaped crayons larger than my fist.
Also had an unhealthy obsession with my View-Master, LEGOs and a Wooly Willy toy.
In High School - I studied under a wonderfully eccentric woman, Beverly Luciano, who pushed every art student to ponder their limitless potential.
In College - I studied under a talented and intelligent man, Jim Bryant, who launched my creativity into the design world with plenty of assistance learning the core software I'd need.
After College - I had the opportunity to take a photography class under a hero of mine: Joe McNally.
