I am living my dream. Ever since I can remember, I have loved drawing. I would draw flipbooks in the corners of my grade school workbooks, or Super-heroes for my friends.

In my Sophomore year of high school, I attended a presentation by the Art Institute of Phoenix, and from that point on, I knew what I wanted to do: I was going to become a Graphic Designer. That summer I attended the teen program at Income Builders International. IBI gave me the skills and confidence I needed to start realizing my dream. Shortly thereafter, at 17, I started LightWerx Graphix out of the backyard clubhouse that I had turned into an office and design center.

I went to the Art Institute upon graduating high school, and learned the skills I needed to expand my business into a multimedia venture. The business name changed to reflect my new skillset, becoming LightWerx  Media. It has been almost 10 years since I first decided to become a Designer, and this company has grown from a local business run out of my clubhouse to a worldwide Multimedia company with its' own steady stream of new & returning clients. It’s been easy to spot those who are living their dreams – that’s the kind of team I have put together... they all have a desire to inspire.

The work I do is based on my philosophy, that when you design off of a feeling, you become more connected to the project vision; oftentimes producing works greater and grander than the expectation. Simplicity and clarity become the measuring sticks we put against our ideas. The motivation being the company’s blueprint: To provide the special attention that dreams require, to create or refresh your image with new design ideas, and to be a positive support for your vision.

If anything I do inspires just one person, or brings back one good memory, or makes you think about one thing in a different way, then I have accomplished what I set out to do. You are welcome to explore the rest of the site, and I look forward to hearing from you.
