"Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake"
--Thoreau

I have been working in web design since 1999. Although I have not always been employed professionally - I have worked both as a freelance designer and a full-time employee - I always find myself completely interested and emersed in design. Whether it's a magazine layout, an adverstisement, an article of clothing, or a web document there is always a vast collection of inspiration.

Before attending college I had never used a computer to create artwork. I had bearly used one for more than writing papers. My first hurdle was to understand the software. The close second was to learn to use the mouse to create art. I was trained in more traditional visual arts; using a mouse was like learning to draw with a pencil all over again.

I now have over 8 years experience in digital art. My passion is design.
