Born and raised in Chicago, I received my Bachelor of Design from The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). I studied Swiss traditions of graphic design, though my love for Medieval/Renaissance art, vintage fashion, and high fantasy often influences my work. My design experiences include collaborating with and learning from UIC's Innovation Center, gaining industry experience from Kym Abrams Design, and creating packaging for Little Arms Studios, among other freelance contracts. My work experience is eclectic, which has taught me a range of valuable skills. I currently design informational page layout and info graphics, create online learning activities, prepare online forms, and improve internal communications documents with The College of American Pathologists.

In addition to design, I also like to draw. Most of my personal work consists of illustration. My preferred mediums are pencil, charcoal, and digital software. Due to my love of learning, I continue to evolve my skills and artistic styles by enriching my techniques and toolsets through various workshops and classes. I regularly do my own investigations and projects, frequently involving friends and online gaming communities. I push to constantly improve the quality of my work.

I have a passion for video games, table-top Roleplaying Games (like Dungeons & Dragons), high fantasy, Medieval/Renaissance art, classical music, musical theater, books, maps, print, travel, fashion, and so much more. I spend my free time on The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, playing single-player role-playing video games, writing stories, concepting/painting characters, drawing landscapes/cities, traveling, reading, and making music.

Each tells a story, and allows me the ability to influence and interact with the story being told. I have always wandered through different stories and different worlds. My imagination, fueled by various forms of media, has always kept me traveling and has fostered my love for stories and story-telling, no matter what form they take.
