I am an artist, designer, and teacher based in the New Jersey area, I hold a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Psychology from Syracuse University.
My education and experience allow me to approach my work with an added level of human understanding, enhancing its success in ultimately impacting its intended audience. I thrive working in environments that promote creative innovation, fast-paced thinking, and multifaceted approaches.
My work is recognizable in all of its distinct manifestations with an underlying intricacy and layered approach; however, my versatile skills and abilities are adaptable to an array of fields and needs.
