About Me.

the background

Get To
Know Me.

They say to write “about me” in third person to seem “professional” but it’s just weird in my opinion.

I’m a 28 year old artist based in South Florida. I work in web & brand design and the love of my life is painting & illustration. I get home from work and all I want to do is paint. I paint with whatever I get my hands on but particularly LOVE Gouache & Watercolors. They are not easy to understand but I have a wonderful time trying.

It’s a whole journey thing of figuring myself out, so i’m sure something in this about me page might change one day.

What I do know for certain: I f*cking love art. 

the experience

Artist & Designer

Painting & Illustration

These hands have been creating since they were very small. Everything that I do starts on pen and paper. Nothing fills my soul more than traditional mediums to create art. 

Brand Identity

Being approached with an idea, giving it a personality, a name, structuring it’s story, and giving it a visual presence might be one of my most favorite things in the world. 

Web Design

The importance of digital presence is no longer in question, this is something that compliments pretty much anything that I do creatively. Putting our ideas on the internet, is an art in itself.

"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best. "
Frida Kahlo

Curiousity

There is no such thing as being a “master” you can always be better, at anything, so I am constantly learning.
