Well, it all started a long, long time ago, in a land far away. Or, Northwestern Ohio as some people might call it. As a proud graduate in Visual Communications Technology from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, Blake was drawn into a love for technology via the biggest passion in his life - art.

Blake came from a very humble start as a traditional pencil and paper artist in rural Northwest Ohio to pursue big city dreams in Chicago, where he currently works in the professional creative sector as a marketing coordinator and graphic designer.

Blake's knowledge base stretches through a wide variety of disciplines including print, large format, UI design, web design, screenprinting, and even a little 3D work.

Blake is a vector ninja and has worked on several award-winning marketing campaigns. Blake currently resides in Chicago's beautiful north side with his wife Sayward, his yorkie Grace, and a wide variety of consumer electronics.
