I got into graphic design kind of accidentally.

Basically, I'm a part of the Internet Generation. My parents are and were very tech-savvy, and my whole family shares the same view of new programs that allow you to manipulate images, sound, and other media: we go "ooh!" and treat them like new toys. So, essentially, I was brought up playing with my own digital creations, and kind of learned Photoshop and other programs like it as a matter of course.
