This discovery, and joy, led to school work pursuing skills and training for multi-disciplines in various areas of design. 30+ years of experiences in graphic design, architectural and engineering techniques have been used for the benefit of clients such as Lucasfilm, The Walt Disney Company, Red Bull, Honda, etc..
