ABOUT I was raised in a community that focused on social issues, and being compassionate and responsible in the world. This helped nurture a side of me that believes the future of design is giving that same responsibility to all designers. After I received my undergraduate degree in Graphic Design I got my first job working for a communication firm in Washington, DC. While working I learned even more about the design world: the client is responsible for the content, subject matter and point of view, I was responsible for making their vision come to life. However, eventually I realized there had to be more to design then this method, and I quit and came to Art Center to pursue more. January 2009, Santa Monica, CA
