About Me

Hello, I’m Caleb.

Figuring out exactly what I wanted to do with my future was always a struggle for me. Straight out of high school, I felt the pressure to attend a four-year school to be successful, and so I did. I attended USD for graphic design, but quickly found myself struggling through my Gen Eds of math and science courses. I was extremely unhappy, and I quickly realized this was not the route for me. I dropped out of school and moved back home for a few years until I could get back onto my feet.

Growing up, I often excelled in any kind of art class you could imagine, Painting, Drawing, 3-D Design, you name it. I felt creatively fulfilled when expressing my creativity through design and felt like it was my calling to pursue Graphic Design.

This passion led me to Southeast Tech, where I have significantly strengthened my skills as a designer. By gaining a better understanding of design principles, developing attention to detail, and receiving hands-on instruction from my teachers, I have laid a solid foundation for my success.

Building on these skills, I take inspiration from the media I consume, especially music. I often construct designs based on song lyrics, album covers, tour posters, and vinyl record layouts. Part of my love for music comes from how artists make listeners feel something through their words, and I enjoy translating these emotional experiences into visual form.

I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next for me after graduation. I feel confident knowing that I now have the knowledge and experience I need to begin shaping the future I want for myself.
