"My favorite storyteller is Bernie Taupin, best known for telling his stories through the songs of Elton John. I've conjured up images while listening to him just about my entire life. In much the same way a song combines music with lyrics to tell a story, I enjoy listening to what people have to say and finding a way to visually represent that - combining images with words in my graphic design work, in order to relay a particular message to the intended audience. I'm constantly influenced by everything around me - even by creating art with my young son and his classmates!"
