DAVID OJEDA

David Ojeda is an example of what happens when science meets art: beautiful purpose. His love for both subjects along with the death of his father to lymphatic cancer has compelled him to be a part of Wine Women and Shoes. “Talent needs to have a purpose”, he says. “Talent and knowledge, without purpose, is just an empty vessel, pretty but of little or no use.” It is in his design work and other creative endeavors thru Amphorae Creative Services, LLC, that David finds a
way to travel to a world of endless possibilities and a reason to continue striving. Please visit, www.amphoraecs.com
