PROFILE
EDUCATION
As a creative with a vivid imagination, I have been drawing for as long as I
can remember. Even though I come from a science background, I was
trained from the cradle by my father who also was a designer. Also known
as deraraisis, I started my career as an illustrator while I was still in
highschool and decided to be a graphic designer at my senior year in
college. I was a geek long before this was socially acceptable and I am still
is a nerd of many things.
