WORKBOOK / BIO / PHOTO / REVIVAL INK 
 

 

 

I also have a strong passion for photography.
Before I began doing graphic design I spent hours in the darkroom.
Fine art photography has a lot in common with the principals of design:
form, color, spatial relationships, etc. It was a springboard for my design work.
