My love for design started when I was about 12, after my uncle found an old Photoshop disc and handed it to me. I was instantly hooked. I taught myself the basics by following tutorials and making random graphics for my friends like desktop wallpapers, avatars, whatever they needed. Before long, I was running a little graphics shop on fan forums, creating banners and GIFs for anyone who asked.

Somewhere along the way, I realized this could actually be a career, not just a hobby. I doubled down on art classes in high school, built a portfolio, and eventually studied graphic design at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Since I already knew my way around the design programs, I branched out into things like toy design and art history to grow my skillset.

Music has always been a huge part of my world. My dad was a musician, and I grew up in the MTV era, so I obviously developed a deep love for pop culture. When I got to choose my own projects at SVA, I naturally gravitated toward music-related work. That led me to internships at Sony Music and Atlantic Records, which turned into a 14-year career designing for some of the biggest artists in the world.

I’m ready to start a new era in my career. One that lets me keep creating, experimenting, and growing. When I’m not designing, you can usually find me watching ridiculous TLC reality shows, reading by the pool, taking spontaneous road trips, or hanging out with my puppy, Trixie.
