Hello my name is David Andrew Perez, but I usually go by Andy. I am a junior now and my major is Communication Design. I love everything that has to do with art from traditional to digital. I love listening to music. It inspires me to do more with my artwork. I’m always spending time with my friends and family, but I really enjoy peace and quiet. Even though I like to keep to myself, I love meeting new people and making more friends. I enjoy playing video games, so much that it’s what I would like to do with my life. I want to be a character designer for video games and shows. I am a huge Spider-Man fan, just wanted to put that out there for no particular reason. I really look forward to gaining a new respect for designing with type because I don’t like it and I want that to change. It is very nice to meet you all and I look forward to working along side you lovely people.
