Speaking of Photoshop World, is there a particular<br />
instructor to whom you would like to give a special<br />
shout out?<br />
Terry White: this man is an Adobe guru! He is truly one of the<br />
most amazing people I have ever had the chance of meeting<br />
and conversing with. He has truly became a great friend and<br />
mentor since our meeting at Photoshop World 2015.<br />
Why train with KelbyOne?<br />
I feel that training with KelbyOne will assist me in becoming<br />
the best artist and creative I can be in an ever-changing<br />
market and industry.<br />
Are you working on any cool projects right now?<br />
I’m currently working on several commercial campaigns<br />
ranging from Petit Pois, a Miami-based ready-to-wear<br />
apparel company, to an editorial cover and feature story with<br />
Venue Magazine. I really look forward to the continuation on<br />
my ongoing project, “BLIND BEAUTY,” which is my take on<br />
the world of beauty and how blind we have become to true<br />
natural beauty.<br />

You’re pretty new to the KelbyOne community. How<br />
did you learn about KelbyOne and what has your<br />
involvement been?<br />
I’m six months into the KelbyOne community. I learned of<br />
KelbyOne through the various videos I watched on YouTube<br />
of Scott Kelby and his many guests on the Grid.<br />
You went to your first-ever Photoshop World last year.<br />
What was your major takeaway from the event?<br />
Yes, the 2015 Photoshop World conference was the first<br />
one I attended. I was completely blown away by how accessible<br />
that many of the presenters were to assist with questions<br />
or just for a general conversation.<br />

What is your greatest source of inspiration in both life<br />
and at KelbyOne?<br />
My greatest source of inspiration comes from what I call<br />
“Zest of Life.” The Zest of Life for me comes from doing<br />
what I feel is my passion and purpose on a daily basis.<br />
My greatest inspiration that I get from KelbyOne is that<br />
I can see myself being on the same platforms that many<br />
of those who I watch via YouTube are on. Being a part<br />
of KelbyOne and having direct access to those whom<br />
I watched over the years has truly made me appreciate the<br />
KelbyOne community even more. ■<br />
