The beginning of my skills were with traditional art mediums, including lead pencil, charcoal, and various paints. Then, I learned Adobe starting with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign in 2018. Meanwhile, I also learned how to 3-D print with Cura Lulzbot, silhouette cut vinyl and cardstock, and more at the Maryland Institute College of Art before taking a leave of absence so that I could save more money while working at Office Depot. Even at the job, I learned printmaking methods while also occasionally typesetting with Microsoft and Affinity. In 2020, I got into the Procreate fad to join some social media drawing trends and create more accurate, colorful illustrations.
I took graphic design and media arts with a concentration in 3-D modeling and animation at Southern New Hampshire University. I have learned a ton in the online program and on my own albeit some roadblocks. With a lot of my case studies, I credit the artists who provided supplemental assets. A huge inspiration of mine is Mike Cortada, whose image can be seen under ON THE SPOT. I feel honored to have been praised for my illustrations by my favorite team in the music industry, Ice Nine Kills.
