You have to be great

A little about myself

I was born in Norwood, MA to a family of very talented individuals. I went to art school on the weekends for many years and continued to excel in all art forms including: drawing, sculpture, painting, charcoal, ink, and pastels. It wasn't until college when I found myself becoming more focused in Graphic and Informational Design.
