Because of my imaginative personality, I have the ability to actualize a creative idea. My work is an everlasting search for the best way to present the creative ideas that I have felt in my life. I do not limit myself to one field, style, or standpoint. Inspiration, ideas and knowledge will change all the time. The concepts that I use in my work are brilliant colors, fantastic illustrations and expressive ways. In my life, in my work, and in my travels, I like to cross boundaries. I try to see the world from the inside out. I watch people use and live with products, with each other, and the space that surrounds them. I am fascinated with the interaction of people and things and the idea that I could make that interface more efficient, pleasurable, and seamless. My desire is to see people living in our time, participating in our contemporary world, and delivered from nostalgia and antiquated notions. My hope is that we become conscious and sensorially attuned with this world. If it is human nature to live in the past, we have to change it. To look back is to impede our forward momentum. There is nothing to be afraid of; we should embrace technology, allow progress to run its course, and believe how much better our lives can be. That is what I have set out to do.
