A born and raised Chicagoan…

I use art to channel my vast imagination. After initially pursuing a degree in Kinesiology, I took a leap of faith and went to Columbia College Chicago in 2011 to study Graphic Design. Since graduating in 2014, I’ve spent my career sharpening my Digital Design, Packaging Design, and Art Direction chops. I’ve helped companies devise concepts, create compelling designs, and execute projects efficiently and effectively.
