St. Petersburg, Florida
undergraduat e school and major
USF Bayboro, Major: Graphic Design
particular inter e sts: professional and personal
Photography, printmaking, gymnastics, long late nite walks entailing break dances down the middle of vacant streets, bike hikes, bookmaking, studying, coffee klatch, composing and receiving letters, guys for friends, metathinking, and collecting small discarded entropic papers and cans which I like to call “le smush”
favorite typ e face and why
Mrs Eaves: raunchy, revealing, and reloaded. Zuzana Licko’s revival of a lovely lady, who tells stimulating story, hooking us up with alluring ligatures, strutting her stuff around our spines of print, as we are tempted to her use her whoe family with the friendly Frutiger casual counterpart.
designer i dent ee fy w/n/why
Dorian Angello, Joani Spadaro, David Meek, and Rob Mullins. Collectively, this is the designer I identify with, and the designer I aspire to become. If you were to ask me the same of “artist,” “professor,” “companion,” or “experi-mentor,” I would identify with these same individuals. It is not necessarily the “label” that makes someone a designer, as we are all, at some varying level. But rather the persons in your life that bring notice to the simple ephemeral day and stimulate an undefined desire within the self to search for such truth and happiness from within it.
why mic/a ?¿ mÂs e du gdmfa
It is like the local weather-casters, privy of knowledge regarding a brewing eminent hurricane. They provide us a very dubious cone outlining potential threat, keeping a broad spectrum alert, and on edge. As time progresses, more finite routes show stronger correlations. So many times I have been asked, and at various stages of my life, what it is I want to “be.” As answering would prescribe a determined narrow-sighted path, perhaps deterring other opportunities and experience accepted failures along the way, I have come to the analogy of my education as nothing more than a threatening cone. The power and determination are unquestionable. The direction in the velocity of knowledge: perhaps more understood. But the forgiveness of flexibility, experimentation, mishaps, and humane detour are what I value most, and think MICA will as well. My reasons for enrolling in the master of fine arts graphic design at MICA, are exhilarating beyond my wildest dreams, as I bring my energy and open mindedness to the scene. I feel mica will nurture narrowed ambitions, but ambivalently, to broaden. And, in the process, keeping more than myself on their printed toes.
