Inspiration?

The world that we live in is pretty awesome and there's a lot of inspiring stuff out there.

Influences?

I just love art and design a lot, art is in my family. My dad designs houses and my uncle is a professional working artist so I guess I just grew up with it and have always loved art.

Current Projects?

I have been working for Cornish in publications and doing web stuff but I am always collecting ideas for future projects and drawing or writing stuff down.

Hometown/Seattle?

Near Seattle the town is called Ravensdale. You will find it about 40 miles south east of Seattle.

Why Cornish?

Reputation, faculty, location, I love Seattle.

Cornish Experience?

Its been crazy after my first year. I was really tired and there was a lot of work but I am so excited to get started again. I guess Cornish is doing something right. I love the challenge so much and I have made some good friends.

Hobbies?

Drawing, making art, computer games the usual nerdy stuff.

5 Year Plan?

Graduate and who knows what. A nice design job somewhere, maybe more school to get a masters. I really don't like to do much planning I just roll with whatever I get thrown at me

I wouldn't mind doing some freelance some day soon.

Any Advice?

Craft is really important, don't procrastinate, it's a lot of work but try to have some fun and relax.

Creative Process:

I make some people nervous, that's all I will say. I really have no process. Its different every time.
I am usually all over the place with my ideas and they come together in random leaps and bounds of creative energy. Sometimes late at night.
