A little bit
about me.
My passion for design blossomed during my studies at The College of New Jersey, where I specialized in Graphic Design and Marketing. An invigorating internship with the Philadelphia Flyers fueled my dedication to the sports industry, which I further honed during my nearly
five-year tenure with the Memphis Grizzlies. During my time in Memphis, I adopted a dachshund named Jimmie, who has been my loyal companion on road trips to over ten states.
Currently based in Milwaukee, I am proud to contribute to the success of the NBA Championship team, the Milwaukee Bucks. Additionally, my journey has led me to a variety of freelance opportunities where I have created custom art pieces for individuals and designed graphics packages for notable brands such as the Tennessee Titans, Black Tap Craft Burger & Beer,
Small Studio Brand Shop, and MicroTek.
As I eagerly anticipate the future, I am excited about the design and life adventures that await me. I am committed to continuing my growth in the design field and exploring new opportunities.
