Pronounced WAA-KAAS, I'm a passionate design and technology thinker, specializing in art direction and creative strategy. I find inspiration in every aspect of art, whether it's through books, music, movies or travel. I believe an unexplored path leads us to new discoveries. I graduated with an MSc. in Creative Strategy and Masters in Art Direction from Miami Ad School and Florida International University.
