A lifelong artist, Jarid is a passionate illustrator
and designer with a thirst to know everything related
to graphics. He graduated from Florida Metropolitan
University with an associates degree in commercial art
and a minor in computer programing. He has developed
his skills and talents through some grueling deadlines
with print shops and design studios. In these
positions he strived to learn everything he can about
the position and the process for production. In one
print shop, he was a pressman's shadow with the goal
of learning everything that a project may encounter on
press so that he can design with those issues in mind.
This helps him deliver press ready art that will come
out as desired if not better. His view on graphic
design is, "It isn't just a job, it's a hobby!"
