In many ways I’m not the typical designer. My initial training is as an illustrator and many of my influences come from the fine arts, as well as popular culture, such as films & comics. Upon reflecting on my development though, I’ve realized that I was into design before I even knew what design was.
Dating back to posters on the walls at school, to the layout of textbooks, magazine covers & even packaging designs. When I was in middle school, the local police department redesigned the graphics on their cruisers, which had previously been the “old fashioned” basic black & white design from the 50’s, & I was completely enamored. This was around the same time that I realized that people were paid to draw comics, so the idea of making a living in art & design was just starting to percolate in my brain.
In each of us there burns a fire. The nature of this fire varies from person to person, but in all of us it is this fire that drives us to achieve our dreams. It is our passion, our desire. It is the source of our curiosity and it drives us to achieve more. For me, this fire was ignited by imagination and it drives me to tell stories. The story of the problem solved by a new product; of the small business that invites you to place your order on their new website; the call to action to “book now and start your own adventure,” even the stories of gods among men, fighting for truth and justice. My fire tells me that these stories must be told and like Prometheus, I am driven to share that fire, to share the power of those stories, with the world.
