about
Artist Statement:
My love and fascination for the physical is my driving force in creativity. That love led me to pursue graphic design as I had wanted to imitate the vivid imagery emblazoned on my t-shirts, video game magazines, and posters growing up. My graphic design influences include designers like Saul Bass, Tibor Kalman, and DJ Stout for their work across various print and screen media. Contemporary designers with similar interests in vintage design, such as Aaron Draplin, Tad Carpenter, and Ty Mattson, are also influential. My current work takes cues from graphic design movements such as postmodernism, art deco, mid-century modern, and pop art.
