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. |
