Duration: I’ve been a working professional since graduating college. I’m much more focused now since recently leaving my full-time design position.

Education: BFA in illustration from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

Cultural Influences: I’m from a small upstate New York town and now live in a fairly large city. I've always been interested in combining both outdoorsy and urban elements in my work.

Environment: My studio is located in a fairly quiet section of Philly. It’s still close enough to everything that I can get out and see things, which is important. I like to have a good balance of both energy and calmness.

Philosophy: Life is too short to be doing what you don’t love.
