In college, I was all about becoming an illustrator—hands down, no question. I was ready for a life of sketchbooks, coffee stains, and no financial stability. But then I started spending more time on my computer, and BAM — digital design swept me off my feet. Suddenly, I wasn’t just drawing or painting; I was designing websites and interfaces...
I was obsessed.

I dove headfirst into every web and digital design course my college offered (which, spoiler, wasn’t many). After graduation, I took two jobs in the online learning space, both of which vanished quicker than free food at a tech conference. So, I did what any sensible person would do I switched to something steadier.

Enter Big Blue (also known as IBM). Little did I know, my career would evolve from working in IBM’s ‘Speed Team’—an organization dedicated to technology and innovation—to spending the rest of my career across various organizations, expanding into visual, product, and UX design. Definitely not the plan, but hey, turns out stability isn’t so bad—especially when it’s wrapped in a ton of creative opportunities. And there were many, as the following will hopefully show.  

I’ve always had a love for banter, especially when it brings a smile to people’s faces. With that in mind, I’ve infused a bit of humor into this portfolio, as I believe that an entertained audience is an engaged one. While a bit unconventional, I hope it adds a touch of fun and is taken in good spirit. 

P.S. Yes, I am an American citizen, based in Connecticut, and do not need visa sponsorship
