Your time at CCAD in 3 emojis: 🤯 😤 😎
Current artist/designer crush: I’m torn between Alex Milne and Jack Lawrence for their work in the IDW Transformers comics!

They are both very incredible artists that drive me to want to refine my skills!
Favorite thing about CCAD: The sense of healthy competition. We compete with one another, while raising each other up. It creates a strong drive to push my skills further, while creating an awesome network with my peers. I walk away with great art and great friends! What’s not to love?
