About Chad Droze
Tech Person by trade. Grew up mainly in the 90's and most of my nostalgia is derived from that decade. Sports, Tech, and Video Games are my main interests, and love to explore the graphics and aesthetics of the 80's and 90's through old tv commercials, product packaging, and print ads.
