Let me tell you who I am...

You are currently viewing my DAI 505 blog, which means I made it to my last semester at San Francisco State University as a DAI student studying Visual Communication Design.
I just got back from two wonderfully fulfilling semesters of studying at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, Italy, where not only did I learn graphic design, but a whole different culture, that I really admire and fell in love with.
My inspirations come from others who dare to break the rules for a good reason and push to make their aspirations and dreams a reality. This is a quality in myself that I strive to maintain everyday. I never want to become a slave to my work or other peoples' work. I'm a huge fan of living, and if I ever stop, it might be just because I am dead.
I have a really huge list of things I would like to get done in my life, such as, finishing this semester with a huge bang, going back to Italy and traveling the rest of Europe, owning a restaurant, having a family, write a "one hit wonder", and the list could get longer if I wanted it to.

Here is the image that best represents how I aspire to be in life:

Yes, a tiger ready to pounce. Tigers see their prey and go after it, they don't mess around. That is how I want to be about life; If I want something to happen, I will go after it and do what ever it takes to get there.

Six words that describe me:

1. fun
2. adventurous
3. creative
4. love
5. calm
6. observant
