I've always loved color and texture. Some of my earliest memories are the bright daisies at my preschool, a deep love for turquoise, and endless hours spent making holiday decorations.
Today, I'm passionate about creating beautiful work that turns a brand's identity into a 360 experience. Something like what you see at Disneyland - Mickey heads tastefully incorporated everywhere, even on something as dismissive as the sewer grates. No detail is spared, creating a seamless branded dreamscape.
