Once upon a time...
I grew up in a multi-cultural neighborhood & household in Detroit, where I was exposed to a variety of languages & cultures. This exposure started my fascination with typogrpahy. I find letterforms extremely powerful in their presence, form, the history behind their development & the information they can relate.

Recently i was able to present my Post-it Project at PechaKucha - Detroit.

Also, some of my work was featured in CreoMagazine (pages 12 and 13).

Other than being stuck behind my laptop designing and creating, i'm also a music junkie and a foodie.
