You can call me Will
Since I can remember, I knew I would be an artist. I don't remember ever wanting to be anything else. Now, I'm blessed to live out my dream everyday through a career in design, illustration, and motion.
Early on, my Uncle introduced me to skating and I found my calling. Board graphics from Santa Cruz and Plan B opened my eyes to new worlds of art. So in sixth grade, friends and I founded a skate t-shirt company, which has evolved into the freelance design business I am still running today. 10 years in and no plans to slow down.
Now, I'm committed to mastering my craft and paying my luck forward. Outside of design, I'm a big musichead, love hiking and running, and am a massive fan of Arizona sports (despite our affinity for losing).
