"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." — Edgar Degas

I knew I wanted to be an artist from the moment I could hold a crayon. I spent hours, years in fact, drawing frogs and ducks—I don't know why—maybe they were the only animals I could draw. I started life drawing classes at twelve and discovered the joy of drawing the human form, capturing its essence, creating bold statements with lines and colors.

As designers we need to make these bold statements. We need to be strategic and responsive to the needs of our clients. We must ask the right questions to create solutions that are original, impactful, and memorable. We are successful only when we surpass our clients' expectations—bringing their brand to life.
