Name is Erica, prefer Naoki; Talented artist since I was 5 years old, coloring on my mom's walls, designing graphic shirts & sketch until the moon was high in the sky. Skilled urban artist, graffiti is my second nature; I started Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop 13 years ago in high school. Very well at logos, business cards, brochures, cd albums, shirt designs & more. I'm more moderate in Illustrator than Photoshop however I know my way around the program & a self learner. There's an excessive amount of tricks I want to acknowledge through adobe programs & develop more by staying in a creative environment.
I have hopped around from business to business, mostly small companies starting from the ground up believing I would progress in the company; however they fail to train a trainee on certain fields that are promised & repeatedly asked to be taught. Some ask how I learn to do some of the designs in my portfolio, mostly from school or self taught tutorials. Creative side can sometimes crash on me, dealing with art block & kicking my brain to get inspired.My creativity comes from a 360 degree angle as far as hearing the news, artist striving for fame, events, others art work.
