I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. Growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia meant I didn’t learn to read until I was ten — so I learned to see first. Shapes, lines, textures, and composition became my language.

When I started skating in junior high, I discovered a whole new visual world of design — deck art, skate mags, 411 videos, catalogs. None of it needed words; it spoke through attitude, energy, and culture.

Then one day, I saw a designer featured in a 411VM video, and it hit me — someone actually makes all this stuff. Its a job!? That moment set my path.

Since then, I’ve created 24 skateboard graphics, plus wheels, tees, and posters for some of my favorite companies. It’s not the biggest career — but it’s mine. And I’m still chasing that same creative stoke that started it all.
