24 years of engaging with various forms of art and expression have taught me this: everything is related to everything else. Graphic design relates to writing relates to illustration relates to dance relates to piano relates to film relates to theater relates to organizing elaborate casino heists (kidding, I'm not Danny Ocean). What brings me the most joy in life (outside of my family, friends and community) is finding and creating new ways to marry more than one skill together to craft dynamic messages and chronicle real stories.

In my spare time, I love refining new skills to add to my repertoire, in hopes to eventually become some kind of wonderful monster of artistic capability and critical thinking. I also love learning classical piano pieces, reading novels about family drama and young adults struggling to conquer life, writing stories that I may or may not one day publish, and telling myself that this will be the night that I finally go to bed early (it never is).
