For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love and passion for art. I knew early on that I wanted to major in art, which led me to a Visual Communications and Graphic Design degree. I’m a full-time Creative Director and have worked for various agencies including the DEA, Army, Navy and Department of Treasury.

The highlight of my career was redesigning the overall branding for the Medal of Honor for the U.S. Army, which is the highest military honor awarded by the President of the United States. Seriously, how awesome is that? My work has been featured at the White House, New York Stock Exchange and Yankee Stadium.
