My name is John William Rogers IV, but I go by Will. Originally from Chicago, Illinois, I now reside in Dyer, Indiana. At 25 years old, I am a dedicated professional in graphic arts, with a passion that began in middle school through creating video game assets. I honed my skills at Lake Central High School, specializing in web design and graphic arts & layout, and later advanced my training at the Area Career Center in Hammond. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Computer Graphics Technology BHS at Purdue University Northwest, expanding my expertise in 3D modeling, programming, and digital media.
