CURRENT MISSION

making the world a better place with my visually impelling designs and travel the world

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and spontaneous at times. I love design, photography, good food and company. I want to explore the world one day but I need to find my home/niche first. Places I still want to go Austin, Dallas, Seattle, Portland, Napa Valley, NYC, Boston, Chicago, and St. Louis...

I'm from a large family so there are times when I enjoy my solitude.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook so I can definitely share and show people how and enjoy food as much as I do. Graphic design and marketing - I can talk someone's head off probably because I'm so passionate about it.

I'd love to learn a new language(s), draw/paint, and maybe filmmaking. I love to learn about everything and anything!
