About

I'm currently a Product Designer & Inventor Relations at ThinkFun, designing toys & games. I obtained my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from Rochester Institute of Technology, and my Masters in Packaging Science at RIT as well. In my free time, I play board-games, video games, and sew. I collect toys, and spend a lot of time exploring with my trusty sidekick, my dog Scooba Steve. In my free time I write for the Games Section of www.womenwriteaboutcomics.com writing on table top & video games.
