ABOUT ME
I have always been passionate about art. At a young age drawing became my favorite thing to do, and I’ve always excelled at it. My love for illustration took me on a path of art discovery, which eventually widened to include design, video and sound editing, typography, 3D animation, motion graphics and more. I received my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Communication Arts and Design from Virginia Commonwealth University.
My design process focuses on removing the unnecessary and emphasizing the crucial—resulting in the strongest, most memorable visual communication possible, giving form and function equal consideration.
I support the idea that each business is unique and this uniqueness should be visually represented in a thoughtful manner.
I have worked in various roles involving web, multimedia, interactive, print and television to help companies sell their product, create brand awareness, increase productivity, educate and achieve a better user experience.

SKILLSETS
TECHNICAL / PROGRAMS
Technology, software and tools are ever-changing in the world of design. It is a full-time job just to keep up as they evolve. Thanks to my understanding of development best practices, I can design for the latest abilities and work efficiently with developers. My primary tools are the programs in Adobe Creative Suite. WordPress exposed me to my first Content Management Solution (CMS) and helped me understand how to leverage dynamic content and improve the user’s experience.
