I am from Albany, New York, and I have roughly 8 years of experience in graphic design between college and freelance projects. I am a Summa Cum Laude graduate from Purchase College's graphic design program. My capstone, POSTerity, focuses on the sociopolitical climate of post-War American advertising aligning with domestic and foreign affairs.

​

I am also a President's List graduate from the Digital Media program at Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in

Troy, New York. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I

took a gap year during the 2020-2021 academic calendar and

continued to develop my eye in graphic design.

​​

I believe my largest influence in design is from the film and

music industry; album covers, film posters, and production

design in film have all had a significant impact on my eye for styles and creativity. In my free time, my hobbies include 

film study/critique, boxing, expanding my design studies, 

and cooking new foods. I find that these hobbies have a further influence on my design ideations and breadth of knowledge.

​

I believe graphic design is the creative-analytical tightrope of artistic expression and mass response to said expression. This allows for consistent enrichment and challenges.
