Motion is where I'd love to move into next. Creating animations is something I've wanted to do since I was a child. To build some inter­esting model and then watch it move around is endlessly enter­taining to me! The tools today available for creating animation are incredible. Much better than this.

I've come to discover the rigors of 3-D design over the last few years. It is such an incredible artistic tool! With the modeling, the lighting, the texturing and camera work it in­volves a wide variety of experi­men­tation. I'm constantly learning!

Posters are one of my favorite things to create. I love to come up with intruiging visuals and delve into attractive typo­graphy. They never take long to put together and are usually seen by a lot of eyes!

Vintage comic book style is a fun illustration mode. It has a broad appeal (who doesnt like looking at them?) and it is usually easy to work in some great humor. Researching them is a nice diversion as well!

This, to me, is a more 'nuts & bolts' side of graphic design and I love the element of psych­ology involved here. Before study­ing graphic de­sign at CSU, I was enrolled in the psychology program. After getting through the research methods re­quire­ments, I realized I am an artist, not a scientist! I am happy with the switch, and very happy to find these same elements in my current field.

The world of web is pretty incred­ible. I havent been learning coding for long, but I have had the opportunity to put to­gether web­sites for some folks. Coding is what I call "drawing very, very slowly" - frustrating, but also very rewarding.

Before coming to graphic design I tried my hand at writing fiction for a while. I have always loved reading and learning to write and com­municate well is important to me. Luckily this can extend into the graphic design / art world through book covers and copy writing. Desigining book covers appeals to me in the same sense as poster design, but theres a really BIG story behind it!

Comic strips are, I am pretty sure, the thing that brought me to art & design. From both reading them as a kid to drawing them for a news­paper myself - they are very close to my heart. I always try to keep that level of humor and fun in every illustration I create!
