I spent a year at Maryland Institute College of Art before transferring to Flagler College, where I earned my BFA in Graphic Design in 2009 with minors in Fine Arts and Business Administration. After graduating I moved home to New York and spent four years at Darling, a boutique ad agency in Manhattan, working on print, digital, and broadcast campaigns for ACE Insurance, TJX Companies, OXO, Hamilton Beach, Hearst, FreshPet and Disney.
As my interest in web design grew, I joined Graphic Image, a leather goods manufacturer that crafts private label products for Neiman Marcus, Anthropologie, Brooks Brothers, Mark & Graham, and Tiffany & Co. I led in-house creative for the web and e-commerce team, including site updates, email campaigns, photoshoots, and promotions, for both Graphic Image and its handbag brand, GiGi New York, where monthly revenue grew over 175% year over year.
In 2015 I started my own design studio on the eastern end of Long Island, halfway between New York City and Montauk, designing brands and websites for content creators, founders, and local small businesses, and helping many of them navigate the affiliate marketing space. I love bringing my schooling, my agency and in-house experience, and over a decade of running my own business to every project, bringing new and fresh ideas to life through design.
