He’ll say he wants to be a graphic designer. He wants to win awards from Print Magazine, The Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, and the Society
of Publication Designers. He wants to design The Nib Magazine, get shortlisted for the Stack Magazine Awards, win Ignatz and Harvey Awards. He wants to design and illustrate for The New York Times, T-Mobile, Airbnb, and art direct animation projects for Topic and
The Nib. He wants to create contemporarary collage art that shows in galleries around the world. He wants to serve on the executive board of AIGA Seattle and as Vice President of ICON The Illustration Conference.
