For as long as I can remember, I have been designing by sketching, brainstorming ideas, drawing, coloring, visualizing and branding. When I was little I would cut magazines apart and then glue new layouts together not even realizing that I was designing. Over time I also gained photography skills to support my design endeavors. Nowadays I teach my skills to others so we can all be creative together.
