Obviously, a lot of people know you for your lettering but I think those around you know you as an incredibly talented multi-disciplined creative. Where did your creative journey start and how have you found that it’s developed over time?

I started really, really, young when I was in middle school or maybe even younger, where my cousin was really into graffiti and tagging. I was like whoa, this is pretty cool, he was doing all of these different handwritten styles and so I would doodle a lot in school. I think it then evolved from graffiti into actual hand lettering calligraphy when I was in middle school and was introduced to Instagram and just had a whole feed of inspiration. I would follow a lot of these artists and then try to draw letters like them. Eventually, I was like, dude, I hate doing all these set styles of letters, why don’t I add my own style and do things how I want it to look and here I am now.
