When I was growing up, film was my love. There was an urge inside me to produce and create pieces that would entertain people, whether it be a comedy or Shakespearean tragedy. There was something that compelled me to move people emotionally. I wanted to make them laugh and cry just as many movies before had done to me. I would be at home with my friends just creating short movies all day. When in the process of transitioning from high school to college, I decided on entering my higher education to major in the business of shooting and directing my shorts and also feature lengths.
However, my initial plan for college was put on the back burner as I took two years off to myself after I had graduated. This was partially due to my lack of interest in schooling and I felt overwhelmed by life at the time. During the coarse of this time, I became more aware of my surroundings while honing in on what I really wanted out of life. At the same time, the economy of our country was tumbling downhill as it is still in a unfavorable state. When I got my act together and decided that college was a commitment I was absolutely willing to make, I started to chose what I would be majoring in. I still loved and love film, but thinking about it thoroughly, the movie industry had always been a risky one to get into and the economy wasn't making it any easier. Instead, I turned to my other passion - drawing.
I had been drawing ever since I was a small kid, but had never noticed how much I had centered myself around it my whole life. I started with drawing, then moved to painting, and then eventually evolved into the world of photoshopping. I had taken all of these elements and decided that graphic designing was something that I was really interested in. Settling on this was an obvious decision, but it didn't come to me right away.
