As a kid, I was often found doodling in English class instead of listening to the passionate discussions about Shakespeare or The Outsiders. In truth, I always knew that art was the field I was wired for, however there’s validity behind the all-too familiar term: “starving artist.” With that in mind, I found a stable gig as a  graphic designer for a pharma company. As you can imagine, the work became mundane and my creativity felt stifled. It wasn’t until I had my first child that I realized how important it was to show him that there’s success in following your dreams.

​

With that, I left my job to freelance full time. While my work still includes pharmaceutical design, I’ve been able to take on projects that challenge my creativity, one of my favorites being Sofari Guide.

This collection of spirit animals defines my journey, and reminds me that there are still hurdles to overcome, joys to be had, and opportunities to seek. I hope that Sofari Guide does the same for you and empowers you to boldly follow your own path.
