Class of 2010

In his words: "Design has been my life for as long as I can remember so it's nice to finally be at the point where I can use my work to impact the community. I study architecture at NC State, but when the late nights of working on buildings gets tiring, it's great to bust out from the straight lines of walls etc. and throw around some "fresh paint" for fun! Thanks for being my canvas. Follow my work and travel on Twitter!"
