my story

I am creative and an analytic. I love to create to nourish my well being, but I also love a good challenge to solve a problem. Can these two be married? When I found out that a graphic designer utilizes those two skills, a career change was in order.

You know the saying about coming around full circle. Well, that's how I feel about my creative journey. There was always this creative drive in me that I seem to suppress. I considered creative advertising in college but changed to computer science instead. While my career as a software performance engineer developed, I started to dabble in photography as a diversion from the day to day logical thinking of my job. Photography became my reprieve to open that bottled up creativity. I truly created photographs for myself. That fuel unfolded other opportunities for a creative path. What if I can have the best of both worlds?

So here I am ready to take on the challenge of visual communication. As a start, I designed and developed this website.
