We had the good fortune of connecting with janarrius howze and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi janarrius, what role has risk played in your life or career?
The role that taking risks played in my life was that time management played a huge role. The reason being is that i have school, a job with the football team and my outside life. I say even though i have my independent graphic design thing going i still have task to do for the football team also.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
The way i got to where i am now is that back in 10th grade i was taking rap seriously and i didn’t want to pay for cover art at the moment due to expenses. So , i started making my own and people was asking who made my cover art and i told them me so i started making it for free and afterwards when i bought adobe photoshop and got better i started charging to make money off my skill. It wasn’t an easy journey due to naysayers and etc. but i fought through it and proved them wrong. The lessons i learned was watch who you do business with. Watch the customers you do business for.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting i would take them to the cypress/houston area or katy. Go somewhere like dave n busters or if it’s a rockets game going i’ll take em there. Eat at pluckers. Prospect park would be a good place to go also.
