Well I attended the University of Cincinnait 1989, For Graphic Design, Had a mentorship under the Great Artist Gibert Young, While in school i work at Kinkos 3 rd Shift, and there i realized i could start my own business doing Graphics and Printing. So 20o4 me and some of my close friends we Started Hotcards Cincinnati (Tri-State). We had amazing clients like; Macys, Tall Stacks, Riverbend, Cincinnati Symphony, etc., But the bulk of our cumtomers came from the NightClub scene. We designed and printed flyers for 90 pencent of the Urban Tri-State area market (Cincinnati/Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Also Serveral Recording Labels Like: Cash Money, No Limit Records, Def Jam, Concerts & Festivals and Local Artist. We had an Amazning 15 year run!! In 2015 i got married then in 2016 i had my daughter. So i decided to go on my own and work for home to take care my kids.
