About Me


About me:


GRAPHIC DESIGN PORTFOLIO WEBSITE

But images are strong
Impulses are strong
And logic will break you heart
Forever
Be brave

Lets change all these talking points…

Standing on the street the dusk starting to be over shadowed by the streetlights you learn more about yourself in one moment then you ever have before. 24, graphic designer, originally from Ohio, DC has been my home for about 8 months now and I love it. But the Blackcat is closely becoming my home away from home.

Music and art are my two passions in life. Have been playing guitar for going on a decade and in that time been in a handful of bands. Nothing makes me smile more then hearing a really good break down or when a band throws in a judas priest style twin lead guitars part in a song. (you know, it’s the little things) Going to a small club or bar and hearing amazing live music by some small undiscovered band.

Generally obsessed with music. Love good conversation about music and art.

Love art. Designer by trade, but also painting and printmaking, and generally making a mess of stuff. Viva la Union. Love Indierock/punk/emo/80's/a danceable solution and dance or die.
