I
received a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Flagler College, where I have been doing freelance exhibition and editorial design for the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum and the Department of Art and Design for the last three years. I currently live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan full-time at a digital advertising agency as a Junior Designer. As an active member of the design team, I have worked side by side with: creative directors, senior designers, writers, account executives, printers and vendors to conceptualize, develop, and create design work that not only meets the creative brief but also surpasses the client’s expectations. I have taken the lead on projects and pushed through to find bigger ideas and unexpected solutions. Although I have experience as an art director in branding and advertising (and all that entails), my true passions are: exhibition, editorial, and environmental design. I am devoted to working in the arts and cultural institutions.

I enjoy the ever-changing world of art around me and the challenge of designing for the arts is what interests me the most.
11
In such a visual world my craft and skills in design are meant to highlight and preserve the
importance of the arts.
