BIO

Hello everyone my name is Kerwin E Davis, I was born in Gary Indiana, home of the Jackson Five..(Yes. . .THE famous Jackson Five) I was raised in a very artistic family that encouraged me tremendously.  Because of their support, I know that all things are possible with hard work and faith in God.  I apply that message to my artwork to this day, and in my everyday life as well.


In 1997, I entered the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where I received my formal training in the field of Graphic Design/Computer Animation.  I have worked in various areas in the industry, including Desktop Publishing, Web Design and Traditional Illustration. My belief is that this industry is always evolving and reinventing itself. That is why I am always broadening my skill set to benefit a future employer.   My belief is that you cannot just be good at one thing in today’s society.  It is a must to have a multitude of technical and creative talents to make yourself indispensable to your client or employer.

 

My latest lists of individual achievements is in 2009 beginning with the launching of my T-shirt Christian Apparel line Be Like Him. My startup company was featured in an article on NewsOne in August of last year. I am very ambitious; always eager to learn. I feel that is the drive needed to be successful. My resume highlights my abilities in the field of graphic design, and my portfolio showcases that broad skill set in action.
