Born and raised in “The Valley” just outside Los Angeles, I began my interest in art and fashion at young age. I attended Otis College of Art and Design and graduated with a BFA in Digital Media in 2004.
After graduation, I began a career in motion graphics and visual effects. After 2 years of freelance projects at numerous companies, I realized that my talents in painting and drawing were not being utilized in that field. In 2005, I left the entertainment industry (and Los Angeles) for the action sports apparel industry.
Outside of my full-time gig as a Graphic Artist at Quiksilver, I continue to create and sell my fine art. I recently illustrated the cover of the novel Substitute Wizard and am currently illustrating the children’s poetry book Chickens Don’t Have Fingers, both by the author Jim Chrisman.
Currently, I live in the Costa Mesa, in Orange County, CA....just a stones throw from the beach.
