My background is firmly rooted in a studio environment with an education built squarely on the ritual of satiating an internal drive to create work that was worthy of presentation and critique. From the hand crafted to the digitally composed I was fortunate to have been exposed to a broad spectrum of aesthetic disciplines before concentrating on communications and packaging design at the Pratt Institute in New York City where I earned my Master’s Degree in 2006.
Professionally I’ve gravitated to boutique agencies where I’ve been able to wear many hats beyond the typical responsibilities of a creative. I am as confident navigating the turbulent uncertainties of management and pre-production as I am sketching out ideas. Print to digital, there isn’t a type of project I have not had some experience with, no specification, dieline, or printing issue that has not been done in by my focus and accountability.
I enjoy problem solving with paper and pencil in hand and I seek an opportunity to regularly concept. Ideally at a creative studio with an emphasis on ideation, process, and peer review that may allow me to continue to grow. Personal ideal aside know that I am an earnest creative who, on site or off, permanent or part-time, can successfully see a project through, be it bespoke, interpretive, or derivative, from brief to fulfillment and every step in-between.
