Hello! I am a professional graphic designer with some background in illustration. After receiving my BFA from the University at Buffalo, I have been steadily working in the graphic design field and honing my skills ever since. I spent several years employed in the art department of a Buffalo printing company, which specialized in stationery and invitations. An eventual migration into the internet retail side of the business allowed me to diversify my role, tackling customer service, product photography, marketing and web maintenance. When opportunity presented itself, I relocated to NYC and found employment as a graphic designer for a Manhattan printing company. I have since gained valuable production skills as well as an extensive knowledge of print processes, bindery and software. With my ever-evolving design aesthetic and technical expertise, I have been able to meet demanding design challenges and have satisfied the high standards of my clientele. I also periodically freelance in my spare time and have worked with many individuals and emerging businesses in need of creative services. In an exciting turn of events, I will be traveling around the country this summer, documenting my experiences and ultimately plan to settle down in San Francisco this Fall.


Although much of my work experience centers around graphic design for print, I have dabbled in other creative mediums and technologies including web design, costume and set design, photography, retouching, film, video post-production, animation and more traditional art forms. I also have a diverse musical background and classical training in both oboe and voice.
