Vizente E Freeman

Nerd, Athlete, Artist

Born into a family of artists and craftsmen, I love to tinker and build (physically & digitally). I am drawn to vibrant colors and the angular shapes of 1990s graffitti. I am a competitor, playing football and basketball. I take on new challenges such as learning and competing in Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
