Brief history: Growing up with a firm grasp of computers, I discovered Photoshop when I was about 13 years old. Ironically, considering what a huge interest in graphics design I’ve aquired to this day, my first reaction upon seeing the workbench presented to me was to shut it down and leave it to gather dust for about a year before eventually picking it up again. Without the use of any online tutorials or real-life tutors, I began making lots of desktop sized images to get a feel for all the functions that Photoshop CS features.

Over the years, I’ve taken interest to many other different aspects of the media and game industries, including photography, music, videography and special effects. Many of these things can be found in this website, in case you are curious.
