TIDBITS ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Patrick’s passion for art, specifically in the digital illustration form, was sparked during his Junior year at Furman University where he had the great fortune to mentor with a talented artist in this area, Justin Gerard.  The creative bug was further propagated by Patrick’s love for all things Pixar as well as Tolkien-esque influenced realms.  Patrick graduated from Furman University with a BA in Fine Arts and a concentration in Graphic Design.

Patrick continued his studies at the prestigious Academy of Art University
(San Francisco, CA).  There, he was fortunate to study under the tutelage of some of this country’s best current working artists (Pixar, LucasFilm, Disney).  During his Master’s program, Patrick was focused on honing his skills to professional levels.  He obtained his Masters in Visual Development in September 2015.

Patrick currently works as a successful Graphic Designer for SAGE Dining Services, where he works in a highly collaborative environment pushing the brand standard and refreshing it. Patrick used to work for ABET, a forefront leader in college accreditation programs for engineering, computing and natural science.  Prior to working for ABET , Patrick worked as a Senior Graphic Designer at Kiddar Capital, a private equity firm in Falls Church, VA.  Patrick's works were featured in the public media in many forms such as magazine spreads, posters, murals, and event ads.
