About Me

Hi! I’m a graphic designer, art and design director, illustrator, fine artist, and writer with 15 years of experience in various creative industries. Originally from a small town in northern New Jersey, I earned a BFA in Graphic Design from The Rhode Island School of Design in 2010.

Experienced with working in-house, agency-side, and as a freelancer, I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with some of the best clients including in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, finance, publishing, food and beverage, and entertainment. I’ve created everything from logos to international marketing campaigns, and had the privilege of leading design departments and mentorship programs, finding immense reward in nurturing young talent. In addition to my day jobs in advertising and marketing, I've been published in literary journals and shown my work in fine art shows.

In my spare time, I enjoy getting out of the city for the weekend: hiking, biking, lounging in the sun, and hitting up farm stands and antique shops along the way. I'm a lifelong patron of independent theater and try to see every new play and musical each season, with the occasional concert and museum day squeezed in. 

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to contact me for any of your creative needs! 🙂
