Hello, Hugo!

Hello world.  I like to read articles before I dive into work for the day. I came across an article that was linked to a blog, catchy title, I clicked.  It came straight to this "Blogger" blog. Can't remember when the last time I even saw this. My old posts were from 2011 era, very funny to see what lines I wrote.  I had a crazy idea. So first off, clean this up! Because well...there are so many cringe-worthy posts. But also, redesign my old posters/design work to see how I would refresh my old thought process..also to gauge how the work stood the test of time. At the time, I was deathly afraid of showing people my work and critiques felt personal and fucked with my fragile self-esteem. But now, bring it on! Seriously, tear me apart, hell I tear myself apart. So I will come back and redesign all this in the following weeks.  2019 here we come. 

The Portfolio Review at Heights Theatre held in April by AIGA was a great learning experience. We got the chance to present our work to established professionals and receive  honest feedback. They forced us to reexamine our work, not only from a conceptual, but a business standpoint. 

Creative summit was an amazing experience where I got a chance to hear a room full of creative heroes speak. Their insight and experience in the field of art and design was truly inspiring. Equally inspiring were the other winners from our region. http://www.creativesummit.com/creative-summit-25-award-recipients.html

I was fortunate enough to receive a Coveted Memorial Ralph award for this piece I created in expressive typography.

This was the last issue I worked on for SWAU.  I designed 3 issues for the school.
