In 2000, I decided to pursue a career in graphic design. My brother Jimmy had already been working in the field and his pieces were truly inspirational. I enrolled in school for a few years to learn. I started working in print shops learning all about the pre press process, printing standards, spot colors, cmyk etc. Later, I went to work for several design firms in South Florida and creative agencies as well. In 2006 I moved to NC to focus on real estate, but the market cratered shortly afterwards. After working for a few brokerages as a marketing coordinator, I returned to graphic design full time. Currently, I am enrolled at the Art Institute of Raleigh Durham for Web Design & Development to get a better understanding of web design.
