About Me


Hello folks! I'm finally here! I've avoided MySpace long enough. Now, where do I begin? It all began back in Chicago on 68th Street on May 24, 1976. Well, I won't take you back that far. Let me speed things up a bit. I went to Thornwood High School. I graduated in 1994. From there I went to Illinois State University and majored in Graphic Design. I earned my BFA in Graphic Design.
After college, I married my college sweetheart. I worked in downtown Chicago as a graphic designer for a couple of years. Shortly thereafter I began teaching at Westwood College and ITT Technical Institute. I never saw myself as a teacher, but it was a great experience. Not only did I meet great young talent, they taught me a lot about myself. I became a better designer in the process and would not trade it for the world.
I'm currently a Senior Graphic Designer/Art Director at a brokerage firm in downtown Chicago. I look forward to seeing where else God will take me. I love what I do for a living and I feel I've achieve a lot considering all I've been through. More than anything I love life and all it has to offer. I'm definitely not one to complain. I'll take what life deals me and I'll make something positive come from it...

My Interests

I love Art and Design. I paint and draw, but I also create design work on the computer. I love basketball and my video games.

I would love to meet my Grandparents again. I'd like to meet myself back in 1985. (I would tell me, "no matter what happens through life, you will make it.") I'd also like to meet my Dad Stevenson, Aunt Pearl, Aunt Pan and Uncle Jerome again. I love you all...!
