A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY STYLE:
Design is personal. It has been used to create attitudes
for revolutions and started cultural trends that last generations. Influencers like Richard Avedon, Lucian Bernhard, and Guerrilla Girls, are just a few names that impact my modern style. Their styles of simple forms, rule breaking, and bold statements have a transformative effect on my pieces. I want to be able to challenge the current art front and lead it into the next generation.
