A Little About Myself

Currently a student at UIW's Graphic Design Program. Prior to this, I was a student at the Academy of Art of San Fransisco, California where I studied Video Game Production in a focus for concept design. I am also a graduate of San Antonio College where I received my Associates in Fine Arts with a minor in Architectural History.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
