Charles Adams is a graphic design student at Full Sail University studying online. He has had a passion for drawing since childhood and was adopted and raised by his grandparents, who instilled in him a love of history. Adams believes the past can inform present design work and sees potential in vintage and reused designs. He aims to create work that makes people think or smile and hopes to find an employer where teams work together to succeed.
