Work_Icons_About.png

From a young age, I always experimented with design. Before the first day of school, I would decide what my handwriting would look like for the year. What would my "a" look? 

Fast forward to two weeks after my college graduation, I was packing my bag to move to New York City for a crash course in editorial publications. During a summer program at New York University, I was recognized by the Publisher and Creative Director of Every Day with Rachel Ray for my art direction and graphic design. That was just the start of my career. After working at Every Day with Rachel Ray, I have played crucial creative roles at Pangea Organics, the Weber Grills team at rabble+rouser, and Janus Henderson Investors (formerly Janus Capital Group).
