Interests
Art – Drawing and illustration has been a lifelong passion of mine, as well as studying art and learning from other artists. Working in a creative field has allowed me to part of the art world in a very real way and be a witness to art history, such as seeing the beginning of Joshua Vides’s art career as I worked alongside him at Workwell Design.
Design – Since high school, I have been learning how to utilize my creative skills to create marketable designs, which has led me to start a career as a Graphic Designer. It has been a rewarding experience to make designs for various clothing brands and music entities, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with more clients.
Production – Besides learning how to work with wood and metal for personal projects, I have also studied various forms of printing through high school and college, including screen printing, digital printing, and sublimation. This knowledge has helped me produce items for my own clothing brand, as well as create made-to-order products at my current position at MAP Digital Solutions, which produces official merchandise for music estates such as AC/DC, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and Miles Davis.
Clothing Brand – In my spare time, I run my own small business called Flavor Brand. Creating products under my own brand is very satisfying to me, and it’s always a good time selling the products at various events. It’s also a hands-on way to learn how a streetwear brand operates, and even offers the opportunity to collaborate with different artists and other brands.
