Growing up in the quaint rural microcosm of Milton, Pa. (home of Chef Boyardee—and why i love tomatoes) cemented my work ethic and fostered my networking skills. But it was my drive that propelled me to leave my small town with bigger dreams to pursue graphic design; and I would ultimately fall in love hard for cities.

After graduating with a B.F.A. in Communication Design from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, I left Kutztown—hometown of Keith Haring—for the brighter lights of New York City, where the worlds of cutting edge music, media, art, fashion, film and literature all converge and begged to be absorbed…and so that’s exactly what I did.

I designed. I art directed, I styled; I wrote. It is in NYC that I honed what is probably my most razor-sharp skill set: professional voyeur, content creator and storyteller.

After New York…I spent several years living in Australia as a freelance designer and stylist, which added another dimension to my creative skillset.

In the next chapter, I spent a few years in the creatively offbeat Baltimore as a designer, illustrator and creative recruiter— before ultimately landing in Dallas.

To frame it all up—I’ve designed, done art direction and creative direction for museums, retail conglomerates, corporate in house and ad agencies. The next challenge is but a click away, and I’d love to hear how we can collaborate.
