Art Direction | Graphic Design | Advertising
I am graduating this May from the Pratt Institute with a BFA in Advertising/Art Direction. I originally come from sunny CA, but after four years in NY I've decided to place set my roots down here. Since I was young I've always loved learning and experimenting with new art forms. I excel mainly in print design, but I am also well versed in web-based mediums, and in fine art. In my spare time I enjoy reading and adding to my ever-growing graphic design library.
