Description: I am a Las Vegas based graphic and web designer with 5+ years experience. I have a strong passion for aesthetics and making things beautiful while still being able to convey a message. My delve into the world of graphic design started in the fall of 2002 creating apparel designs for a band I was playing in at the time. From there, it was 15 hours a day learning everything I could about photoshop and eventually illustrator. I continue to this day to pride myself in constantly absorbing new information and learning new software and techniques. Recently I have started teaching myself Adobe After Effects and learning motion graphics. I’m currently in the process of getting Lost Penguin Studios, an upstart Las Vegas based Design Studio, off the ground.
