A continued curiosity in design led to participating in an internship with Burt & Burt Design in Macon Ga where Floco Torres made the first FT logo. From there, he started creating more concert/event posters, community engagement campaigns, & social media marketing graphics. For more graphic design work, please visit the portfolio here.
Early on in his career, he Iearned that he could use his skill sets & influence as an artist to also work with organizations in different communities to implement positive changes that we want to see.
