I am a print/pattern designer and illustrator from Youngstown, Ohio, and am now based in Boston, MA. My art has always been grounded in curiosity, a pursuit of interesting images and meaningful articulation. First, as a student at Columbus College of Art and Design, I studied everything from portrait painting and animation to ceramics and digital design. After graduating with a BFA in Illustration in 2015, I took those skills to Reebok, where I worked as a graphic designer for their Classics collection. In the years following Reebok I've worked creating print, pattern, and surface designs at LF Americas, In Mocean, Victoria’s Secret Pink, and Komar.  During my time at these companies I've done surface design for shoes, men's and women's athletic apparel, swimwear, lingerie, and accessories including masks, bags, blankets, and water bottles. Most recently, I have joined Puma as a Graphic Designer working on running, training, and studio graphics and prints.

In addition to my professional work, I also paint (primarily in oils) and illustrate digitally. These are my passions, and though I pursue them outside work hours, they constantly inform my approach to my professional assignments. 

In my spare time, I volunteer with Footsteps helping mentor young people interested in arts careers; my own work within the industry has been so rewarding that it’s a joy to help others find their path into it as well.
