About
Originally from Santa Fe, NM I traveled across the country to obtain a BFA from Syracuse University's Communications Design department. I have since resettled in New York City where I have worked for the past 4 years. I consider myself a problem solver, first and foremost. I have prior professional experience in packaging, print, advertising and web working for a wide range of clients ranging from corporate to non-profit. My priority is creating a message that is both sustainable and accessible.
