From the time I was old enough to hold a pencil, I\u2019ve been drawing.<\/strong> It didn\u2019t matter what it was, I just doodled. Mostly pen and ink and usually on any piece of scrap paper I could find. It kept me occupied for hours and was a great source of entertainment. Being able to get down on paper the images I had in my head was a great creative release.<\/span><\/p>\n I knew from a very early age that I wanted a career where I could use my drawing abilities. The closest (paying) career that afforded this type of creative freedom was graphic design. Illustration was still my mainstay, but I soon learned that design and type were equally important. These days I consider myself more of a teaching practitioner, sharing with others my passion for design and illustration. What I learn in my freelancing endeavors proves to be valuable in training the next\u00a0generation of creatives. Teaching has afforded me the best of all<\/em> worlds. I have the unique opportunity to mentor several talented and inspiring individuals as well as learn from them. I owe a great deal of my acquired knowledge to the trials of my\u00a0students.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] From the time I was old enough to hold a pencil, I\u2019ve been drawing.<\/strong> It didn\u2019t matter what it was, I just doodled.
