Profile
I am a graphic designer with a love for beauty, specifically nature (flowers, landscapes and animals). I also like architectural and industrial themes.
I own a design studio: Vigor Creative Inc. and have been designing print pieces and web sites for about 8 years now.
I’d like to become a better photographer, so I am updating my gear and working on building a portfolio.
