About

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Middletown, NY. I am a recent graduate of SUNY New Paltz where I majored in visual arts and minoring in digital design and fabrication. Through my time in school I have become highly proficient in Adobe Suite to create mockups and render illustrations. In addition, my experience with 3D modelling and animation has allowed me to craft in new dimensions. I enjoy helping people bring their story to life with images that are vivid and unexpected. I consider my illustrations and designs to be collages, combining digital, traditional, 2D and 3D assets, found or self-fabricated. When I finally allow myself to unwind, you may find me consuming memes, nostalgically watching children’s movies, or taking photos of very small objects.
