About My Work

I think that artist is kind of a lofty word so I will say this. I think I haven't quite found my style yet. The things that I make are super influenced by video games and animation. I really like big, bold color choices as often as possible. There are certainly places for subtle color, but I really like big splashes of it! I have mainly been creating content for my work lately but I hope to be able to focus more on motion graphics and logo design in the coming year. If I had one piece of advice to share it would be that creativity needs to be fed... so try to do it daily. It doesn't have to be grandiose or complicated. It can be simple: make a doodle, take a picture from an odd angle, watch a quick tutorial,  rearrange your coffee cups by color, whatever, just doing little things to stay creatively engaged can really pay aff!!! Oh and have fun… I guess that is two things!
