Influence is paramount! I am so intrigued by the different ways typography communicates, from the smart simplicity of Mossimo Vignelli, to compositional genuises like Wolfgang Weingart, to the colorful rock music posters of Wes Wilson. I've always admired photographers such as Carrie Mae Weems, Nan Goldin, Gregory Crewdson, Ryan McGinley, Brendan George Ko, and Bert Stern. These and so many more giants keep me inspired and excited for growth and creation.
