I am an entrepreneur –
I don’t own a TV. I have casual friday every day. I like making stuff. I’m a perfectionist. I love my work.
I am a nomad – currently I live in Brooklyn, NY, St. Louis, MO, and Dos Piedras, NM. originally I am from Vienna, Austria. I travel at least three months of the year. virtually I am everywhere.
I am an artist – I work in every medium I can get my hands on; my work generally involves a narrative and some form of social criticism.
I am an illustrator / creative director / designer – we all have to make money somehow – only few of us have the luxury to do that while doing something they genuinely enjoy – I do. I am academically trained – I have a bachelor’s degree in marketing, a bachelor’s degree in studio art, and a master’s degree in printmaking.
If you’re really interested in my experience and what applications I can use, etc…I master all industry standard applications – Photoshop, Illustrator, In-Design, Flash, Quark, etc. I know CSS and html, am proficient in print and web design practices, and I have plenty of experience in anything design-related.
