Continually a student and a traveler, I love to learn and explore. What better way to keep a fresh perspective. I've lived and worked literally all over the United States from Honolulu to Boston with a few stops in between. Currently residing in Boston, and looking for full time opportunities both local and remote.
Ever since I was in grade school, I knew I wanted to create. I loved to sketch and doodle. In high school I maintained that I would go to university for graphic design, and I ended up following through on that initiative. I carved out a career working in agency and in-house settings refining my process, style and skills along the way.
At the time in my career I was working for a global event production and management agency that contained its own creative agency. As a company, a large portion of our work was dependent on the travel sector; one of the first sectors impacted by COVID-19. Consequently, I was laid off. I suddenly found myself with a golden opportunity. More on that in a minute.
One of the benefits of working in an agency setting is the privilege of working with creatives from different disciplines. Those interactions would intermittently spark my thirst for knowledge and growth. For me, user interface design, user experience and motion design were the disciplines that piqued my interest. However, with my first child on the way, and my responsibilities within the agency, it was hard to fathom really taking on and learning some of the adjacent skills of my fellow creatives.
Once I was laid off, because of the hit we took in the travel sector, I found myself with the resource of time on my hands. So, I rolled up my sleeves, built a crib for my coming daughter, and proceeded to start the UI design Program with CareerFoundry. Here we are approximately a year later and I've never been more excited about what I'm doing and my potential opportunities moving forward as a visual designer!

User interface designs with the end user as the focal point throughout the iteration process, is where my passion lies. Paired with the visual communication sensibilities of a long tenured graphic designer.
Here is a timeline of some of the education and professional positions I've held as of late.
