About the Artist
A-Type, INTP-T
Born and raised in Pittsburgh Pa, I've always had a compulsion to create. My early education days are filled more with over-stuffed sketchbooks than sports trophies or educational achievements, prompting my parents to enroll me in many extracurricular art programs over the years. I've studied and dabbled in numerous forms, from the traditional drawing, painting and sculpture, to more advanced medias such as 3D modeling, film and animation. At the age of 25 I decided to learn how to sew, and have since made dressmaking and costume design a lucrative hobby that has brought me into a wonderful circle of friends who share my creative drive.
I moved to Atlanta GA in 2013, following a brief layover in Charlotte NC, and began working for a printing company, where I spent over a year developing my design skills and maintaining the branding standards for such companies as Verizon Wireless and Harry Norman. Then I began putting more and more of my efforts into becoming a professional costume technician. Apprenticing with several companies to hone my techniques. In a very short time I proved my talents and skills and began working more and more with film and television productions.
In 2018 I began getting back into graphic design within the movie industry, both to expand my employment opportunities and because I had begun to miss doing design work. I moved fully into graphic design within the film industry and have never looked back. My myriad of artistic experiences continues to serve my productions with knowledge in printing, construction, and innovation.
Still I do my best to expand my creative hobbies, into even more fields of creation in an effort to always maintain a broad range of knowledge. I work fast and learn faster.
