I was born and raised in Miami, Florida where I spent my child hood attending art workshops and taking a strong interest in
the visual arts. When I reached middle school I auditioned and was later accepted in to a magnet art program. The program helped me gain a better insight on various techniques and use of materials. At the end of my middle school years I decided to once again audition for a magnet art program, this time it was at Design and
Architecture Senior High, (DASH). This was a high school which was devoted entirely to the visual arts. When I was accepted I was
constantly being pushed to perform at a high level. Out of the many
majors offered at school I majored in industrial design.This major
pushed the fundamentals of perspective and encouraged strong
drawing technique. During the summer of my junior year I was
chosen among three other students in class to attend a two week
workshop at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
After the trip I was inspired by the nature of excellence the college
exuded and decided that was the school I wanted to become a part of. I majored in product design with a strong focus in
entertainment design. I am currently published in two books, In the
future... Entertainment Design at Art Center College of Design and
Writers and Illustrators of the Future, Volume 23 Through out my
time at Art Center I have been involved in several freelance
opportunities. My client list includes: Yamaha, Added Value
Obsidian Games, Highmoon Studios, MagnusRex Studios, Prana
Studios, Edge of Reality Games,NS Wash Systems, and Rhythm and Hues Studios. During my last term at Art Center I was hired full time at Rhythm and Hues while maintaining my position on the Deans
list. I currently work as a freelance concept designer for film.

  Hendrix

  I am a fan of Hendrix. Not only because of his music but because he wasn't afraid to be himself and express himself. I admire this because I too wish to break free from society's expectations. I want to create something new or redefine peoples' opinion of me and what I might b...

  Love for Two Worlds

  This portrait explores the planes of the face and dissects them, lifting them, and going under the form. I begin to unravel the subject like picking apart a delicate origami sculpture. The result is a very graphic abstraction of the subject and orthodox idea of portraiture. ...
