I’m 4D and I’m a ‘wannabe’ creative, I’m a work in progress, a sketch before the blueprint. I am working on it though. Currently I see myself as a corporateMonkey, a Professional Geek, with a day job to pay the bills, and an extreme interest in design, photography, engineering, and art. I spend most of my lunch hours in the city art galleries, and most of my nights studying good looking things on the web, with aspirations to create things just as good.

I’ve been using the internet since 1996, and I figured it’s about time to try and put some of the things I’ve learnt from it into practice. So I’m working on putting together a collection of works, as well as doing something with a work colleague who has similar ideas to me. We’ll see what the future brings on that front.

I’ve made the odd website, both personal and paid for, yet nothing I’m extremely proud of yet, I know I can, and will do better.

People fascinate me.  The way we look, the way we speak, the way we interact, what we listen to, what we watch…

I grew up as an “Army brat” and ended up bouncing all over the world as a child.  I feel that I’m blessed to have had those experiences and to remember them as vividly as I do.  The internet and all this social networking has truly made this world so much smaller and I love every bit of it.  You can connect with just about anyone else in the world in an instant.  That’s truly amazing and hope I never take that for granted.

I’ve been drawing people my whole life.  Creating portraits of people is one of my favorite things to do.  I love photography, doing graphic design work, or just simple craft work as well, but when I get to recreate someone’s image – whether it be on a canvas with a whole spectrum of colors in oils or with a black ball point pen on a napkin – that’s when I’m at my happiest.

I love meeting new people and networking – there’s always something I can do for someone and vice versa – find me and let me know what it is!

Karma is my name. Spies is my surname. Elizabeth goes somewhere in the middle. I thrive off creativity. There’s nothing like the feeling you experience when creating – be it something important or something that does not matter at all. Its like time stands still and everything else fades out of focus.

Being a ‘creative’ these days means something completely different to what it used to. There are so many more mediums and platforms to explore. I more than often find myself feeling absolutely overwhelmed by all the creativity out there. Its a lot to live up to, and if one wishes to make a name for herself these days it naturally means being able standing out of the crowd.

Today this is what I work toward. Finding a unique style that I can truly call my own, a real extension of myself rather than just something I made or created. I live in South Africa and have never traveled abroad (something I dream of doing with every passing day), and hope that one day my work will give me such an opportunity.

I’m Sheldon Evans, a 15 year old freelance designer living in Johannesburg, South Africa. I enjoy everything about design, seriously who doesn’t? Everyone likes to look at stuff that is visually stimulating and admire the amount of creativity that went into creating the work.

Older and more experienced designers are the people that I look up to and admire. When I was younger I knew that I would grow up and do something in the IT world but I had no idea I would be doing design, nor did I have any idea that I would be doing it before I grew up.

I love the internet and everything about it, you could call me the typical “internet-aholic”, meaning I’m the ultimate geek. Many people think that geeks are these guys that spend their whole lives in front of the computer screen, well, you’re right we do.

I’ve got one last thing to say, we’ve all heard the quote by Albert Einstein, “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”. I think this is nonsense, I believe in originality. If you are original you wont have to waste time hiding your sources nor will you have to worry about someone finding out where you got the idea or who you copied it from.

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”

What is The Construct?

The meaning of The Construct comes from my natural desire and propensity to learn and apply in all aspects of creativity. I am a construct of many different facets that I’ve managed to gather along my life. Be it Photography, Animation, Front End Development, Web Design, Digital Painting, Design, Illustration, Branding and a host of others too many to mention. I believe a broader education and interest makes me a better communicator.

Who is Hernan Valencia?

Graduated from San Jose State University with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design, I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’m the founder and principal of the design studio The Construct Creative, an AIGA  member, an avid photographer and bass player.  I’ve worked for clients such as Starbucks, Disney, FedEx, SoFA street festival and Vox Wine Lounge focusing on designing websites, collateral, branding campaigns and illustration that maintain a balance of beauty and accessibility. My aim is to achieve an effective communicative vehicle for empowerment as well as appropriately representing my clients’ character and goals. To be happy doing what I do and have others feel the same.
