About Me
Blessed with a vivid imagination since childhood, my creative odyssey started in grammar school, where I penned and illustrated my own short stories. This passion intensified through my teenage years, culminating in my first paid logo design at just 13 years old. Now, over three decades into a career I love, the joy of creation continues to fuel my journey, making each day a blessing.
Armed with proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, and a suite of design tools, I craft experiences that resonate. My work has been celebrated with multiple awards and certifications, a testament to my commitment to excellence.
An experience of a lifetime. This is me trackside in Las Vegas shooting photography to build a library of assets of the DENSO sponsored NHRA event, teams, cars and personalities.
