Born and raised in Ypsilanti Michigan, Paris Addie found an interest in drawing at an early age, as a means of expression and as a way of giving freedom to his often vivid imagination. Inspired by cartoons and comics, he would often practice and dream of creating his own stories and characters.
Paris was introduced to faith in his early teens, at which time he accepted Jesus Christ as His Savior, Lord, and Friend.
Paris believes that creativity is a way of sharing life, akin to how God breathed life into man, and is one of many ways we experience closeness with God. Paris began working as a freelance illustrator in 2010. Since then, Paris Addie Designs has successfully completed several projects including, logo design, cover artwork, character creation, mural design and custom images for apparel.
His beloved wife, Anita, with their wonderful son, Amaro, together supply Paris with endless joy and inspiration.
