At what age did you begin to consider a career in art and advertising? I wasn’t sure I wanted to be a graphic artist until I entered college. I wasn’t sure what the difference between a graphic artist and an art director was until I started working in advertising. I find many people still don’t know the difference. How did your career unfold? Modelling in a very young age had it’s perks... I kept in touch with good friends in advertising agencies to provide me with some freelance work. I started working with small fashion houses and magazines working on campaigns, leaflet design, product and packaging. How did you discover you had a creative talent for art and advertising? I don’t think there is a moment that you say to yourself, wow, I’m talented. You will know by the feedback you get on your work - if those you respect admire it, if the consumer connects with it. I think it’s easier to find out that you are not talented. What has been your keys to success? As cliché as it sounds: hard work, and lack of fear. A good work ethic. Who were the biggest inspirations for your career? I can’t say that I had any. I never had a mentor. My inspiration comes from contemporary pop culture and my own personal experiences expressed in art form. What do you enjoy most about your job, your career? The challenge. Have you found true love? After a lot growing years and growing pains...I can defiantly say YES.
