Art and Design have held major roles in my life as long as I can remember. As soon as I could hold a pencil I was drawing and sketching and practicing my handwriting until it looked perfect. In school, if I had the option of creating posters or dioramas to make a grade, I shined! Art Class was my favorite. When Graphic Design was offered in high school, I discovered the fun of illustrating with computers and bringing those illustrations to life by making them dance. I became fascinated with motion graphics and went on to Marist College to join the Digital Media Program with a focus track in Animation. Creating is simply something I must do.

After graduating college with a BS degree in Digital Media/Studio Art, I was employed by a fortune 500 company to develop interactive and print product training materials. I worked as a Production Support Specialist and member of the E-Learning Team. In this role I discovered that animation stretches far beyond The Simpsons or Pixar films. I worked on Flash user interface training modules where I had fun thinking about interactivity and user experience. As part of these instructional design projects, I created complementary layout designs and print materials and discovered that I enjoy not only motion graphics, but a variety of digital design mediums. I've gone on to work on an assortment of freelance / contract projects such as designing and developing flash websites for various companies; presentation designs for Zero Motorcycles; web and print design projects for the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum; and personal theme designs for individual clients.

The digital design world is continuously growing and changing. As a result, I find that I too as an artist am constantly evolving. Diving into new and different mediums of design and creating design solutions for diverse audiences is something I truly enjoy. Combining my skills, experience, intuition and creative nature, I make every effort to produce high quality designs that achieve client goals and objectives in a timely and efficient manner.
