Educational Foundation
When I was a teenager, my father enrolled me into a graphic arts program at the Regional Occupational Center in Southern California. I was enthralled by the Art vs Design debates, learned how visuals can sway mass culture & did an internship on studio, event & darkroom photography. I attended the Art Institute of California - Hollywood & received a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design & Web Development with an understudy in Marketing. I learned professional practices for digital art, established the fundamentals for print production, explored motion graphics with audio editing, learned of evolving/permanent industry standards & mastered the Adobe Creative Suite.
