I don't necessarily plan on making a living with design but rather use it as a tool in order to communicate important information and concepts to people who may not have the advantage of learning it for themselves. I am actually going to use my knowledge of design to better educate the rest of the world whether it be designing posters or using it to create bold installations to get the attention of others.

The main inspiration that led to my desire to design is my recent knowledge of the collective unconscious. Withing the past couples years I have become extremely aware of everything in my surroundings and a lot of the time I don't really enjoy what i see. I analyze the reason for why everything is and my greatest goal is to expose and motivate more people to question why they do anything in their life. A great deal of people lead lives a certain way because they don't know anything else and to inspire others to think and create a better existence would be more than rewarding.

Design has significant relevance to literally everything I do. We are all exposed to certain mindsets that actually block our ability to see what is actually true creating a brainwashed collective conscious. When knowledge is found, it seems only right to share it with the rest of the world and design is one of, if not, THE most effective way of communicating that knowledge. If more people took the time to think no matter how insignificant it may seem to them, this world wouldn't be so polluted with ignorant beliefs and our existence would be productive instead of detrimental.

This is a magazine that I go through for ideas about art and just has truly amazing art and concepts.

This is a collage artist I'm following and he is actually one of my favorite collage artists of all time. He expresses a really unique perspective of the world and new ways to view everyday environments as something more.

This is just a trailer for a movie but it's all about existence and questioning it and basically will make you think about really mind blowing concepts you may not have come across for yourself. The rotoscope gets kind of trippy and annoying to me personally but it's WELL worth watching the whole movie.
