ABOUT

Hello, I'm a 24yr Old Graphic Designer born in Bronx, New York. Art has always been a passion of mine since I was 6, thanks to my older Cousin Laneshia; Who I gained my interest of Art, Drawing, and Anime.

​

I've been doing Graphic Design since the age of 11 (2010), initially using Free/Web Based Design Programs such as Pixlr and GIMP to create profile pictures on a PC web chat called IMVU

​

My first taste of Adobe programs came from a Weekly school trip to the Digital Arts Experience; Located in Scarsdale, NY between 2014-Early 2016. They taught a little bit of everything from Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I instantly fell in love with Photoshop and got the hang of it quickly due to my knowledge of certain tools from the programs I've used prior; Ever since that day, my love for Graphic Design GREW TREMENDOUSLY.

​

By the age of 17, I was attending a (Now Defunct) After School Program called Countee Cullen, a facility apart of HCZ (Harlem Children's Zone). It was a way to keep busy and find new things to dabble with, I then met my mentor Abishai Freeman, who was the Senior Designer within the program for over 10-20 Years. He taught me the ropes within Photoshop on a College skill level, from the Quick Commands, Features, etc. To this day, everything I've learned on a higher level all started with the lessons he gave me during our free time in HCZ or during the Weekend on Saturdays when he'd be working with the little kids and had time for me a hour or two before closing.

​

In 2017, I Graduated from Greenburgh Eleven, a Secondary School located in Dobbs Ferry, New York. I went there from 2007, up until Graduation. After Graduation, I started gaining experience in the Job Field until I enrolled into Trade School at Co-Op Tech, a school located on 96th Street in NYC. After multiple on and off attempts between 2017 until 2020, I never fully completed the Graphic Design/Advertising Program that I was enrolled in due to me being over the Age limit of 18-21 by the end of 2020, but I was able to gather enough information and knowledge about the field and I plan to Enroll into either another Trade School or College for a Two or Four Year Degree sometime soon.

​

Back in 2020 during the peak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I decided to one day sit down and perfect my craft; I ended up posting a Cover Art concept on my Instagram and had alot of fun with it: Despite it being so simple at the time, looking back now. My first real concept for something major, was when 50 Cent held a Contest Graphic Artists to post their best Concept Art for Pop Smokes Posthumous Album, Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. In the end, Pop Smoke's mother choose the official Artwork for the album, but the Contest truly helped me learn some new Design tips, styles and more; From that point forward, I became a workhorse and was constantly putting out Artwork on my Instagram to promote my work and grow my craft.

​

Fast Forward to Fall 2020, I had the opportunity to work with Obasi Jackson, Pop Smokes older Brother. I ran into his page from a Rap news page that had posted him. I emailed him the tribute arts that I did for his Brother, and he was so impressed, I had the honor to make a Cover Art for Obasi and his song  "Rolling Stone"; Which would become my first Commission from someone that isnt Family/Friends From that point on.

 

Obasi had given me the headstart I needed, as my followers started growing and growing and I started getting Clientele, thanks to him and reposting my Flyer, Artwork, and shouting me out in his Instagram Lives and Stories. By the end of that year, my Followers would have gone from approximately 425 to 700+.

 

From 2021 to Present Day, I've continued to work with Clients, do more Concept Art and get deeper and deeper in working in the Music Industry; Along the way, I've gotten the attention of

 

• Mario Judah

• Rico Nasty 

• Coi Leray

• Lil TJay

• Fivio Foreign

• Baby Keem 

• DMXs Management/Estate

• Swizz Beatz

• Stunna4Vegas

• FNF Chop

• XXXTentacions Estate and More! 

 

My BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS between 2021-2022 was working with FNF Chop on Covers for a few of his singles, starting off with one of his hit Singles "DRAWDOWN", and

"BEST FRIEND" (Featuring STUNNA4VEGAS); Then eventually his 2022 Debut Album "No Way Out". Most recently in Summer 2022, I had the opportunity to work for Fivio Foreign through his Management/Label on a Flyer for his 2022 Europe Tour. 

​

I am now looking into expanding my craft and dabbling more into Branding work with clients (More Flyers, Logos, Banners, etc.) and have been on the road to becoming more proficient with Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.
