How did
you become a designer/artist?
I think I have always been creative,
mimicking my favorite comic book artists such
as Todd McFarlane and his amazing Spider-Man
drawings for Marvel.
After high school I realized that becoming an
entertainer wasn't too realistic and that I
should pursue something I was actually good
at, art. I completed a 3-year course at the
Butera School of Art where we were trained in
the basics of design. Pen, pencil and paint
type of freehand art and design. We were only
introduced to the computer in the third year.
Where are you from originally?
I am originally from Bermuda, a (very) small
island about 600 miles off the coast of South
Carolina. The most common question people ask
me when they find out I'm from Bermuda is "What
are you doing here?".
What are you doing now?
I am currently one of two principals with At
Design, Inc., a Web, print and multimedia design
studio in Cambridge, MA. I am currently learning
motion design for the broadcast/TV medium.
What are your plans for the future?
I want to explore different areas of design
such as animation and motion graphics as well
as grow our business to include a client base
that will give us the freedom to be as creative
as we want.
What American artist inspires you most?
I don't have one favorite artist that inspires
me but right now I love the work of Jeff
Norwell and
Brooke
Nunez.
What unlocks your creativity?
Web surfing, flipping through design magazines
and listening to music. When developing a concept
I like to just throw things together to work
out a color scheme and placement which might
spark an idea that leads me to a totally different
concept. |
