VoyageLA Magazine Feature Article

Hi Alan, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story is about taking chances and not giving up. You hear that all the time, but there really is truth to it. I attended The Ohio State University, and my degree is in Political Science. I have been in Design for over 25 years and I am currently a creative director…who knew, right!?

CanvasRebel Magazine Feature Article

I was thrust into what I do for a living. Growing up, I was obsessed with photos, magazines, and music. In college, I studied political science while playing in a band and photographing everything I could. Back then, it was an expensive pursuit because film was still the standard. I thought I might go to law school, but that never felt right.
