When I first decided to go to school for design, I enrolled in the graphic design program at Brooks College, in Sunnyvale Calif. I went through
the program at the prescribed pace, and Graduated with my Associates. There was still more i wanted to know and learn to give me the extra bit
of knowledge to make it in my chosen profession. So I decided to continue my education at a sister school, Collins College. I ultimately graduated
with a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from Collins College in Tempe, AZ. Shortly after I started
there, I decided I was done with school and ready to go work, but I knew I still needed the degree. So I took on
extra classes and finished in 8 months total what took most students 14-16 months. I was driven then as I am
now to succeed, quickly, efficiently and completely.
As for myself, I am a good natured, easy-going person. I keep a cool head under pressure, though I excel in frantic
deadline sensitive situations. I am quick thinking, able to switch gears nearly instantly from one workflow to another,
which makes handling and organizing multiple ongoing projects second nature to me. My personal time has
always been spent involved in some form of team and individual action sport, such as hockey, snowboarding and
motorcycles and quads. Since the first day at school, when they asked “Why are you here? What do you want to do?”
My response has always been “Design the visuals that people like myself, with similar tastes, attitudes, hobbies and passions,
will see and respond to”. I want to be able to incorporate all my passions in my professional life, as I do in my personal life.
