So I am very happy to say that I have recently graduated from college. I am extremely excited and proud to be an alumni of The College of New Jersey. I'd also like to give a shout out to all of my fellow classmates and all my other friends who have become recent graduates. I'd also like to thank all of my friends and family for your continuous support, advice, and motivation.

Well I am officially finished with school after 17 long years. I think I deserve a little break. So while working on the completion of my website and sending out resumes, I will also be focusing on myself. The first thing that I did was rejoin my local gym with the goal of getting into the best shape of my life. Its good to have a schedule and stick with it, so I have been planning every day of each week making time for friends, gym, work, and personal projects.

These personal projects are small projects that I come up with for myself to work on to keep my creative mind working, this also includes projects that I am working on for friends; such as, wedding invites, t-shirt designs, illustrations, photography, and poster designs. I think the most important thing is to keep the mind fresh, so I am always trying to challenge myself, stay active, and ultimately keep busy. Along with that, I will start posting more often to share some of my favorite projects and to hopefully get some feedback. With that I'd like to thank you all for reading and tune in soon for much more.

Hey everyone! So I recently redid my room with all my work from the past couple of years in college. Below I have a picture (a sneak peak) of my workspace. I enjoy having artwork around me for inspiration on any new projects. Whether that be exploring art inspiration websites or just by looking around the walls of my room. Now that I will have a lot more free time with school finishing, I will devote lots of time towards finding a job and working on some of my own personal projects along the way. Enjoy!

Senior Design Show Success

Yesterday, the senior graphic designers (including me) of The College of New Jersey had their Senior Design Show. Everything went great! Everyone's tables looked great, lots of family, friends, and businesses showed up, and of course the food was delicious.

It was a fun experience to show off my work and explain my process to people outside of school. It was great to hear questions and comments about my work. I am extremely pleased at how many people showed up and all the great feedback we received.

Graduation is nearly upon us and the real world is crashing down. Now that I have my portfolio completely finished and the website nearly complete, I will be sending out tons of stuff to ad agencies in the area hoping for some good luck.

Below is my table at the show. Thanks to everyone who made it out.
