About

I like small woodland creatures, nice typography, waffles, and Will Smith. What else do you need to know?

It’s funny that when we were in school we complained so much about having to do a certain project, or go in a certain direction, and following all these constraints — when really, we could do whatever we pleased. This is a sharp contrast to Graphic Design In The Real World, I am quickly learning. While I do truly enjoy my jobs, and feel so fortunate to have them, I am still very much the entry-level designer following set styles and guides. Instead of being frustrated and whiny (a natural state for me), I am trying to make an effort to make stuff that I want to make, that I choose, that I direct, that I can have fun with. And now, after much reflection and contemplation, I present to you “Nubby Wings Bird.”
