About
I
was born and raised in Mississauga, the city built around a mall. Years
spent having to drive to every destination and usually ending up at
Square One.
Nevertheless,
in order to maintain the status quo in the eyes of my peers I began
my first job washing dishes at thirteen and have since kept a myriad
of jobs within the retail, hospitality and automobile sector. Comic
books, video games and computers never came cheap. Do you remember what
a brand new Commodore 64 cost? I opened my first of several small businesses
at 17 and have yet to bore from entrepreneurial endeavors. Pop culture
has been ever-present in my life and has spurned me towards a career
in visual communication, specifically graphic design.
I completed
the four-year graphic design program at Ontario College of Art and Design
during a time when cutting-edge software and technology became more
accessible. Since then I've dedicated much of my spare time self-teaching
new skills such as designing and building websites, 3D modeling and
multimedia animation. Working hard to be a well-rounded designer for
the future.
whew. This
is what I love to do.
