WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?
That imperfections or bad ideas might lead you to that ONE great idea. Put it all down on paper, lay it all out! Maybe drawing 100 sketches to only 3 of them might be what it takes.
WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN YOUR FIELD?
Braulio Amado. He is probably creating some of the dopest stuff out there right now. Love him.
WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING?
Recently I have been listening to a lot of indie soul after being introI’m reading “The 48 Laws of Power”, always listening to a Tribe Called Quest, and I’m watching the tv series “From” on Prime… .highly recommend to all my horror fans.
DO YOU DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES?
Absolutely. There are a couple of organizations who I’ve been working with recently and I have a great feeling we’re going to create really cool things. Hopefully, you will see some of my work out there in the wild soon.
DO YOU FEEL THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS PREPARED YOU TO FIND A JOB?
I believe so, especially with it being my last quarter at Miami AD School a lot of the classes are tailored to focusing on your book and creative resume. Also, the staff has been extremely helpful and super supportive when it comes to providing resources or just general mentorship.
