hello!

Thank you for visiting my website!

So who am I? I'm a Graphic Designer. No not someone who bootlegged photoshop and self-proclaimed designer. In 2000, I graduated with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from The Savannah College of Art & Design. It wasn't easy, but I learned how to broaden my creativity and capture the imagination onto canvas and the computer. Not to mention how to network, and interact with people. I really love designing and to dazzle my clients with my work. It's awesome when they come back for new projects, and recommend me to others. It really makes me feel rewarded and surpass my previous creations. My style is constantly evolving... but then again... that's a good thing! I have to say I am very proud of my work ethics. I have many talents and take direction well. It's all about time management, organization, excellent communication, drive & experience. Friends in high places does play a huge part as well. I don't waste clients' time with late submissions, excuses, rushed work, or anything that may inconvenience them. I'm doing what it takes to help market talented individuals. I don't plan on being unnoticed in the background for too long. So if you think we can make a great team, call on me!

Have a good one!

25 Random Things...
01. For 13 years, I've helped promote independent musicians and their events.

02. My taste in movies range from Moonstruck to Beetlejuice. Animated toons are always a favorite.

03. Favorite musicians and bands include David Axelrod, Charlie Parker, The Beatles, Brother Ali, De La Soul, J Dilla, Nicolay, Pearl Jam, Joe Arroyo, Rakim, Coltrane, Portishead, Hector Lavoe, The Roots, Prince, Marvin Gaye, and... so many more!

04. I was picked on in school all the time. I was definitely a geek. It wasn't until college where I was finally accepted.

05. I check out Design Sponge Online every single day. Before & After and Sneak Peaks are my faves.

06. I started pressing up pinback buttons with my little designs. I also pressed up some shirts. You should buy them.

07. My sister is a phenomenal cartoonist. Unfortunately she no longer has a website, but if you google Lisa Kuprijanow, you'll see some of her older works circulating on the web. She's now Lisa Hamdorf and a very happy mother of two boys in California. Her husband, Joe, is an animator for Tippett Studios (movies include: Twilight, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Enchanted, Hellboy, and many more) Lucky!

08. I have a weakness for anything Hello Kitty,

09. I hate texting. If you have to text me more than 3 times in one sitting, just call me.

10. I wish I had a bigger studio. I'd refinish & reupholster furniture & crafts all day. The digital world can get so mind-numbing.

11. I don't have kids. I really have no desire to have kids either. Still not sure what that says about me.

12. Every 3rd Sunday of the month, I and some local emcees hold a food & clothing drive in Jersey City, NJ. I think it's funny when rappers or other people "rep" where they're from, but don't know the history of their city or do anything to help heal their community. If you'd like to contribute clothes, food, or your time contact me.

13. At first, I am shy. But I do my best to supress it. I'm an artist, so I automatically I think everyone hates me.

14. I went to High School with Big Boi's little brother James. I went to college with India.Arie. She was a jewelry major. I also shared a few classes with Benny Gold. Waiting for the lightening will finally strike me too.

15. Long hours and high demands are not foreign concepts to me.

16. I've moved nearly 20 times in my life. I'm sick of moving. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

17. I used to sing all through junior high and high school. I always wanted to be a singer or an actress. But then I learned, if you don't have "the look" then you're not going to make it. So I decided to work behind thing scenes instead. I've learned, especially for women, it kinda matters there too.

18. When I'm old and washed up, I'll be able to say "I designed for Questlove, Guru, and Wyclef... among others."

19. I don't really enter any art competitions. Not because I don't think I'll place well, but they don't return your work -- win or lose. That's messed up.

20. I actually enjoy listening to hip hop instrumentals more than lyrics. How many times can one guy tell me how great he is? Jake One, Pete Rock,
J Dilla, Blockhead, Premier, Bibio, Mumbles, are just a few of the producers I enjoy.

21. Photoshop filters are evil. Unless you're creating something photo-realistic, please step awaaaaaaaaaaay from the filters.

22. I don't really like to use the popular free stock photo and stock vector websites. Too many other designers abuse them and after a while they all start looking alike. I have to keep it to a serious minimum.

23. I LOVE comedy. Nothing better than laughing so much where you make no sound and tears running down your face!

24. I'm so girly when it comes to make-up. I love it. I often think about going back to school to be a make-up artist. Maybe even take it a step further and do stage make-up. Maybe one day...

25. Don't care too much for video games anymore. They're way too graphic and violent these days. But then again, Mario Bros. DID have a thing for mushrooms. Hmmmmm........
