I came to the United States from Mexico in 1979. Raised in Pocatello, Idaho, I'm a product of the 1980's, hence a huge fan of the 1980's design style. Many of the TV shows I grew up with were reruns from the 50's, 60's and 70's and that sparked the fascination with the typography and design. Studying the general history of design and using it to influence my work has always brought me joy. I enjoy using emotion to influence my designs in hopes to spark emotion in others. In the military, I always turned to graphic design as a hobby. Now that I transitioned out of the military, I wanted to make graphic design my life's work.
