Design Without the Diploma
I’ve never been a graphic designer by formal training, but out of necessity.
My design story started in the early ’90s, cutting out magazine letters to make gritty flyers for my punk band and DIY promo for shows. It grew legs in the early 2000s when I built my first DJ website, long nights spent tinkering with HTML and teaching myself how to make pixels speak the same language as music.
Over the years, design has been my quiet sidekick across every creative venture. From full restaurant menus when I was a food vendor, to campaign layouts for my photography clients, it’s become another way I bring stories to life visually.
I may not hold a degree in design, but I’ve got decades of hands-on experience, plenty of trial-and-error grit, and an unshakable eye for detail. These are a few of my most recent designs — built with heart, hustle, and an artist’s instinct.
