The Short Version
Shortly after being honorably discharged from the Marines in 2005, I picked up an AS in Electronic Technology. I began my journey as a Graphic Designer, first earning my AA in Graphic Design at FIDM SF, and completing my BS in Graphic Design at Sac State in 2012. I was recruited by LOJO in the autumn following my graduation, first as a Junior Graphic Designer, and promoted to Creative Lead in less than a year. I am no longer with LOJO, but during my time there it continually provided me ample opportunity to build upon my design portfolio. Please take some time to view my work here.
Attention to Detail
My goal as a Designer is to be known for my creativity throughout the industry. I strive for excellence in all my work, and consider user experience to be of the upmost importance.
Some of my influences include Walt Disney, Quentin Tarantino, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Vincent van Gogh.
My hobbies include camping, Magic the Gathering, D&D, Skyrim, landscaping, drawing, making sand castles, surfing, writing stories, reading books and articles, listening to music, hanging out with friends, and watching movies.
Bands and musicians I like: Tears for Fears, Michael Jackson, Zomboy, Keys N Krates, Seven Lions, Frank Sinatra, Amilcare Ponchielli, Carter Burwell, and hundreds more.
Books I’ve read and enjoyed: Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, the Harry Potter series (book 6 most of all), American Psycho, and Ready Player One.
My favorite movies are Forrest Gump, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, Aladdin, The Incredibles, Akira, Princess Mononoke, The Matrix, The Avengers, The Dark Knight, Fight Club, American Psycho, IT (2017), and I am super looking forward to Ready Player One next March.
