Not to brag, but I wrote the first handful of pages of several novels before the age of 16. So, yeah.
When my friends and I formed clubs in our backyards as kids, I was most concerned with what our club was called and what our logo would look like. I got my hands on a bootlegged copy of Photoshop in 1997, and I decided that must be what heaven is like.
But since I had a knack for design, I didn't want to go to art school. I wanted new skills that might come in handy, so I got a degree in computer science — and boy howdy, has it ever come in handy in the world of digital design. And look at me now: making a career out of making things look good, work well, feel right, and get the right messages across.
Aside from designing, I'm probably watching the sports I played much less impressively in high school, fawning over my kids being awesome at any number of things, or annoying the hell out of my wife by preemptively blurting out quotes during movies in a hopeless effort to prove how smart I am. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now, please tell me you aren't still reading this. It's time to go out and create some cool shit.
