I am a versatile creative professional boasting expertise across animation, illustration, graphic design, and video.
Graduating magna cum laude from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, where I majored in animation and illustration, I showcased my talent with the creation of 'Friend or Foe,' a thesis film that earned acclaim at both the MIAD Senior Thesis and Summer Exhibition shows. Its success extended to the silver screen, captivating audiences at a local theater.
Following graduation, I was privileged to participate in the esteemed Disney College Program, an experience that profoundly shaped my appreciation for storytelling, quality, and professionalism.
Throughout my design career, I have achieved notable milestones such as animating for stop-motion YouTube series for American Girl and producing award-winning commercials and television specials for Watertown TV. Noteworthy design clients include First Stage Children’s Theater, MIAD Bridge Magazine, Preemie Power of Wisconsin, and Gloucester Royal Hospital.
Outside of work, my hobbies fuel my creativity. I'm an enthusiastic plush collector and crafter, sewing plushies and doll clothes in my spare time. I'm teaching myself guitar and have a fascination in learning about abandoned places and retail/theme park history. You can find me outside cycling, paddle boarding, walking, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun.
