Personal

About Me:

Grew up in Elkhart, IN. When I wasn't playing sports, I was drawing. Slowly my passion became art... But no-one held my hand along the way.. nothing was handed to me. I took the initiative to give myself opportunities by entering contests, and applying for internships. In college, much like the Great Micheal Jordan, I was refused into the graphic design department 3 times, before being accepted. (re-created my portfolio every time..sucks) This was discouraging. But I took every outlet possible to build my portfolio and gain experience. Along the way I... Created my own clothing company: Nolij Clothing, had 2 internships, created a sign/graphics company: 4wardesign, had many successful freelance jobs: kyleobriendesign & won various design competitions. So I found myself being accepted into the program the beginning of my junior year.. I took all the design classes possible and combined the information with what I had explored individually. This got me here today. I graduated last fall and landed this job at Morris Innovative Research, as the creative director. In conclusion, create your own opportunities, don't be afraid to fail, and let the world guide you into your future.

    I must say you've had quite an impressive stretch. I appreciate what you say about not being afraid to fail. As to your portfolios while I find it all appealing, I like the artistic expression group most.
