About

From the beginning: I grew up in Sonoma, California. I drew lots of inspiration from the rows of vines lining every drive to school in Marin County. In high school, I volunteered at a local teen-run music venue and started my graphic design career with rough punk posters made in Photoshop 2.0 for classrooms.

Getting far from northern California weather, I moved to Bennington, Vermont for college. With colonial meets modern architecture and rolling hills of vivid leaves or sparkling snow, Bennington College brought a new wave of influence to my life both intellectually and environmentally. I took courses in history, film, philosophy, literature, and a wealth of arts courses. I dove into the world of digital art and illustration. I also studied Graphic Design abroad at Central St. Martin’s College of Art & Design in London, drawing inspiration from the bustling metropolis and its rich history.

During college, I had a series of internships in the art and museum world: assisting the curator of the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, creating flyers for dance courses at the Brooklyn Arts Exchange in Park Slope, sourcing costumes for an off-Broadway production of Hamlet, building a website for a project on the gay rights movement and the fight for marriage equality. These built my skills and foundation in work for a cause, work with passion and meaning.
