Born and raised in Burlington, Vermont, I would listen to music and draw outside as a teenager. I was always curious about the things I saw, which spurred experimentation and creativity. These experiences inspired me to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from Champlain College in Burlington. Today, I am a graphic designer and entrepreneur with more than ten years of experience leading design strategies for digital and print marketing campaigns, creative direction, brand identity, high-profile publications, and other marketing and communications tactics. My work has ranged from conceptualizing and designing to overseeing print and digital production for organizations ranging from healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and hospitality to fashion. I continue to work hard toward my goal of becoming an art director.
