about

After four years in the Marine Corps, I studied graphic design at Kent State University and Cleveland State University before graduating from the Cleveland Institute of Art with a BFA in Graphic Design and a minor in T.I.M.E. (digital art). While in college, I worked at a print and interactive studio in Cleveland known as Burning Tree Media. After graduating, I worked as an Associate Graphic Designer at the Cleveland Museum of Art, designing exhibition and environmental graphics. Since 2003 I have been volunteering for the Cleveland Disc Association as their Art Director, designing graphics for merchandise including apparel and discs. This led to freelance work for the Ultimate Players Association and VC Ultimate.

In October of 2009 I left my hometown of Cleveland and relocated to Brooklyn, New York. I am currently working at the Pushpin Group with Seymour Chwast as a part-time freelance designer. Outside of assisting Seymour, I balance working on and looking for new freelance opportunities, in addition to the development of my new brand, *threads.
