I’m currently at Savannah College of Art & Design majoring in Broadcast Design. ACA was much more like an art school. SCAD feels more like a commercial art school or an art college. I’ll finish my classes March 2010.
I work at The Ultimate. It’s a two part company. One side does video production and motion graphics for people in the Atlanta area, the other side is an online luxury and unique products catalog aimed at the wealthy, all the items include a video created by The Ultimate. It’s a great job b/c it’s a video house in town, not on the outskirts of Atlanta, and it’s a small relaxed atmosphere startup company. We have 4 editors/videographers total and a creative director. Including my job as editor and videographer, I do the graphic design for print and most of our motion graphics. I also do some of the web design.
I also worked at Intergraph, doing graphic design, and Campus MovieFest, doing graphic design, editing, and motion graphics. I’ve done photography for an Illinois ad firm, Storandt Pann Margolis; I was one of two students in a group of 5 photographers. The other three photographers have had work in Newsweek and Time magazine. We took photos of the Memorial Hospital in Savannah, Ga. The work was used for a book, and also promotional print, web, and tv.
I live downtown with my younger brother, but we are actually looking for somewhere to move this month. So right now I pretty much stay at my girlfriend’s place in midtown.
I love my Macbook Pro. I also have a Power Mac G4 for fun. I love Apple stuff.
But I have a Blackberry Curve. Hopefully I will have an iPhone early February.

I’m from Atlanta, born and raised. I grew up in and around the Atlanta area. My mother is from India and my father is white. I think growing up in this type of environment helped me see things from multiple viewpoints. I’ve been drawing and doodling as long as I can remember. My parents got a lake house when I was born at Lake Sinclair. It was a small shack my dad and uncles built. I spent my summer weekends there with my parents and younger brother. I love the lake and how different it is from the city, at the same time I love the city for all of it’s convenience. But I loath the suburbs. My kindergarten teacher said my drawings were very underdeveloped and felt she had to call my mom to tell her. I’ve always wanted to find her to let her know where I’m at now. The first time I played with a computer was in kindergarten, it was a mac. Cartoons and movies always held my attention. Comic books and Disney exploded my imagination.
High school is where I really learned a lot about art, drawing, and painting. I also started taking video production classes. These classes were amazing, I think the freedom we were given was part of it. I knew this could allow me to combine my talent for art with my newly found knack for videography. The Atlanta College of Art was an amazing experience. It was the cliche art school. About 300 students in a small area above the High Museum with paint on the floors, walls, and ceilings. It’s hard to put into words what ACA was like. The professors allowed so much freedom of creativity but at the same time pushed your work conceptually and visually.
