I was born and raised in Madison, Connecticut before I moved to California to receive my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Chapman University. After working in the advertising world as an Art Director for two years I parted ways with the agency life to practice art and design independently.
As a graphic designer my primary focus is helping individuals and brands create and develop their visual universes through logo & identity, packaging, socials, web, photo art direction and merchandise design.
My personal art practice is rooted in a sense of play and an affinity for craft and found materials. My work centers around a series of characters–such as hearts, stars, and flowers–who I fondly consider the “performers of the multi-act show in my brain.” In my two-dimensional work I layer many different materials such as papers, fabrics, acrylics, watercolors, chalk pastels, colored pencil and crayons to create layered and textured compositions.
