I believe all successful design begins in the mind, with a story to tell and information to share—and that our most expressive tools remain our eyes and hands. Today’s design technology and AI add powerful new possibilities, and I use them with both confidence and passion. I enjoy brainstorming creative solutions with students and clients, always taking a user-centered approach to crafting clear, consistent, and engaging communications.
Over the years, I’ve worked as an art director, marketing director, project manager, web designer, prepress artist, and digital illustrator—full-time, part-time, contract, and freelance. Most recently, as Senior Graphic Designer at Hunter College, I created promotional campaigns across print, web, email, and digital channels for 22 internal client offices and programs, delivering up to 500 projects per year.
I bring this breadth of real-world experience to my programs, giving students the conceptual foundations, technical skills, and professional mindset they need to produce original work that meets real-world objectives. I hold an MA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a BA in Visual Arts from SUNY New Paltz.
