I remember making pictures on the computer as a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s. First came MacPaint, then later I got into Photoshop and 3D applications like Maya and ZBrush. Fast forward to my time at USC, where I studied Philosophy (and created VR environments on the side). I did a stint in Korea working on God of War II, and in 2009 I entered the marketing field with a focus on digital strategy, design, and web development. I still make pictures on the computer. I love to take ideas from my mind and bring them into reality. That spirit led me to write a book on how advertising guides our perception — Advertising and the Nature of Reality — and it fuels the creative drive at my company, Hypersuade. I'm also doing some interesting things in the web3/blockchain space.
