The Origin Story

How curiosity became craft.

🌱
2019

Curiosity Sparked

YouTube, CorelDraw, and boredom. I watched someone build a logo and spent the next three hours trying to do the same. I failed. I tried again. I kept going.

Logos & Lettermarks

My first real design work — wordmarks and lettermarks for imaginary brands I created just to practice. CorelDraw's bezier curves became an obsession. Most of it was terrible. It taught me that design is a craft.

Flyers, Posters & Print

Churches, student groups, and small businesses started asking for work. Flyers, event posters, banners. I learned layout, hierarchy, and visual communication before I knew the terminology.

Discovering Photoshop

A new dimension opened. Photo compositing, masking, layer blending. My ceiling suddenly became much higher.
