I am a designer from the shore based out of Toms River ranging to Seaside Park, who now resides in the Tampa, Florida region. I am so fortunate to call such a captivating area to grow up in, surrounded by all kinds of inspiration, my home. I attended Stockton University for my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications with a concentration in Graphic Design. I am now a full time freelance graphic designer who has created for large scale brands such as Playa Bowls, Pepsi, Hurley, Bebe, and more. I also created & own a small business called Sustainable Surfaces that takes damaged or discarded surfboards, and up-cycles them into sustainable art pieces. Being a designer & an artist is very rewarding because it is my utmost goal to make what others cannot visual. Growing up I have always had a keen eye for detail, aesthetic and composition. It is a reward in itself to bring to life what others may not be able to do themselves and I look forward to the rest of my journey.

As graphic design is my first passion, it is not my only. I really opened up myself and went out of my comfort zone to explore different mediums throughout college. Painting and Photography have been two mediums growing up that I found myself very involved in. Both of these had started off as hobbies but then I grew a love for them and was so fortunate to turn them into work for myself. Along with these mediums I also found fond interests in printmaking and sculpture.
