My Life in Color

Profile photo of Jacob

My fascination with color began back when I was just a little kid. I loved drawing on everything, and naturally, my parents were thrilled with me decorating the floors, walls, and furniture with my artwork.

I can still remember those beautiful blue crayons. I would keep drawing until there was nothing left, and I was unable to hold them any longer, only to pick up another one and let my imagination unfold.

Colors play an even greater role in my life now. I use them every single day at work.

To me, finding the right colors and making them work together is something I really enjoy. I’m very fortunate because I get to use colors on a daily basis to create all sorts of graphic material, such as flyers, brochures, illustrations, films, websites, and logos.

If you want to hire me, send me an email, and I’ll help bring some color to your project.

Color doesn’t exist without light, so in order to see color, we need to see the light.
