A short stint at San Diego City College. I took classes
in logo and packaging and a Portfolio class.

Received a bachelor's degree with an emphasis in design at San Diego State University.

Received an Associates in Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design at Southwestern College. Studied design, photography and illustration and designed collateral for theatre and art gallery events while attending.

Traveling has brought me more education than I could ever learn in any school. I have taken month-long study abroad trips to Italy, Greece and Spain. I enrolled in classes of rennaisance art history and geography while staying in Florence, Italy. While living in Madrid, I enrolled in a month-long spanish language immersion course.
