Growing up just south of the city of bridges in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I always had an affinity for art, coloring and drawing. I gravitated to graphic design in middle school and high school and began college by pursuing a graphic design degree at Saint Vincent College. In my second year, I decided to add a second major in computer science. Graduating in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, my newly rounded skillset landed me in web development for American Eagle Outfitters.
In college I fell in love with the silkscreen printing process, while also exploring traditional sketching and painting. More recently, I’ve begun learning illustration.
Professionally, I work in technology leadership with a background in design, web development, and digital systems strategy.
