the creative
My name is Drew, a 30 year old living and thriving in Lawrenceville, a small neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I’ve always considered myself an artist in some capacity. Utilizing a number of different mediums, but a master of none of them, I’m simply a creative.
I’ve won a few awards for my art, created larger than life paintings, drawings and sculptures that hung in my high school and college galleries, created logos and managed social media for restaurants, created brochures and flyers for The University of Pittsburgh, designed t-shirts for a recreational sports team or two, shot professional photos for small companies, created a pitch presentation for a loan lending company, designed merch and mood boarded branding for start-ups, and that really is just the tip of it all. Moral of the story is that I can do, and will do, anything and everything creative. It’s in my blood and I cannot seem to escape it.
I have a business management degree with a minor in fine art from The University of Pittsburgh and a mindset to be what’s good in the world.
The Name
The name “Visal” has caused some controversy, confusion, and weird little fights between friends, family, and everyone in between. A lot of folks think that it’s a play on the word “Visual”, which, they’re not wrong, but they’re also not totally right.
Although a play on the word “visual” would make complete sense, the name derives from a few different elements.
vi • letters that exist in my nieces name, Olive. I wanted to include elements from my life to bring the name to life.
s • visual (they were correct in some way)
al • my middle name is Alan, a name that I have been (accidentally) called my entire life that has turned into more than just a middle name for me.
