I was raised by raft guides in the heart of the Adirondacks. If you know any raft guides, you know that I use the term “raised” loosely. I ran unsupervised into mud puddles and swam with my dogs in the Hudson River. My wanderlust and sense of independence still have never gone away.

Small town living has influenced my life in big ways, I incorporate my love for animals and adventure into my designs. My ability to take risks has allowed me to explore paths in design that are both unusual in nature and meaningful to a variety of audiences. I find a lot of my works are inspired by the love I have for my dog, and the world around me.

As a graduate, I believe that The Sage College of Albany has prepared me for a career in art and design, or any task I wish to accomplish.
