Interview by Charlie Festa

Hello there, and how are you doing today?
i am doing good!

Portfolio One

How did you get your start in design?
Ive been interested in design for quite a while now, I took an art class in my last year of high school as a prerequisite to get into an architecture degree, i started doing architecture but realised i wasn't interested really interested in construction and buildings, steel beams and roofs etc. But rather the presentation side of things, illustrating the design, and making cool page layouts.

What inspires your work?
hmm i don't know really, i guess i just try and make designs that i think will look really cool and people will like.

What do you plan to spend your winnings on?
