About me:

I started drawing at the age of 2, thanks to my parents who are both artists. Throughout Elementary school, I was constantly pushed to be involved in creative art programs and was always recognized as an artist by my peers. Throughout high school I participated in all art classes and some groups, but outside of school - I started getting involved in computer artwork- digital imaging, 3D design, and photo working. Overtime I started to get involved in 3D Online Communities and developed a desire to create a product for this market. I developed 3D characters and sold them in online marketplaces, I made a bit of money and started to get involved in social networking as the buzz hit in 2003. Everywhere I looked people were on Myspace and Facebook. I decided to create my own online celebrity persona and in time, turn it into a market. After building a network of over 20, 000 friends on Myspace, Stickam and Facebook - I had been able to brand myself as a recognizable graphic designer artist with a unique style. I launched my own website to test my network and was able to generate 2, 000 hits on the first day of my launch. Because of my success with this network, I knew I could do the same type of work for a business and get a response like I did with my own site. I started working for Generation YM in 2008, and my knowledge of the design and publishing industry had broadened beyond anything I had anticipated. My experience and team had supplied me with an opportunity far bigger than any position of employment could have given me, and a chance to change peoples lives for the better.
