About Me
I grew up in the cookie-cutter sprawl of suburbia. My father, a chemist, instilled a sort of mechanical and technological curiosity that has stuck with me to this day. My mother, an artist, imparted a love of visual creation. And my older sister gave me her rad tape collection.
I attended a fine arts college, reveling in the opportunity to create all forms of art – from sculpture and ceramics to printmaking and experimental film. Eventually, I focused on two majors: graphic design and photography, falling one credit shy of an art history minor.
Now, with many years of experience in traditional, non-traditional, experiential and digital advertising, I have worked on some of the most prestigious global brands and been fortunate enough to win most of the major awards in the business.
