I believe that as a designer, it's my job to be the voice of the people I'm designing for because the designs that I touch have the ability to impact people's' lives.  To design is to serve others.  I've also realized that the only thing holding people back is attitude.  Having a can-do attitude in my design work keeps me going, helping me push myself and grow from stepping outside of my box.

Outside of design, I am a lover of nature,  a 2nd degree black belt, an Eagle Scout, an avid video gamer, a coffee roaster, and much more.   I have a huge passion for the martial arts, as they have given me the confidence to not only stand up for myself and what I believe in, but others as well.  I'm currently based in Austin, Texas.
