Art and psychology have always been my two passions in life! Although these majors appear to be on opposite sides of the scholastic spectrum, I have found that focusing specifically on the psychology of how we visually perceive the world acts as a unifying prism that blends these seemingly divergent subjects into one bright career path. In many ways art is like a visual language, it has the communicative power to universally connect, direct, inspire, entice, emote, promote and much more. Every form of art has a different voice, tone, and visual grammar, which is why I have tried to learn as many art forms as possible. Everything from murals to mosaics, aerosol to airbrush, glassblowing to ceramics, painting to printing, and drawing to digital designs I can and love to do it all! When I am not drafting graphics for clients I am performing live painting at bars, galleries, and festivals. I have recently graduated with honors from San Diego State University, where I received two degrees in Graphic Design and Psychology. Understanding the linkage in my dual degrees is key to recognizing that I am equally as proficient in rendering to create unique design solutions as I am in understanding the visual perception and cognitive interpretation of an image. As a result I utilize my knowledge of how the brain works to integrate conscious captivating concepts into my creative process.
