I was born in Atlanta, GA in 1987. I’ve always had an interest in graphics and photography. When I was 5 years old, I used to pause the TV screen with the remote and pretend that I was shooting pictures for a magazine cover. I got into the technical side of graphics when I was a freshmen in college. I started out in Photoshop and slowly taught myself how to fully take advantage of the software to create interesting graphics.
