Creating has always been a central part of my life. In addition to my daily work as a designer, I make it a goal everyday to do something creative, whether it be sketching, writing, or working on personal projects. In my free time I enjoy learning new skills, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, reading comics, attending conventions, crafting, and watching movies.

I'm a graduate of the Hartford Art School with a BFA in Illustration and a minor Visual Communication Design.  I currently work for Lee Enterprises as a Senior Designer and make comics in my spare time.
