I am a Chicago native who grew up in the north-west suburbs till I moved to Chicago to start school at Columbia College of Chicago with a focus on illustration and a BFA in Art and Design. I then moved to Austin, TX for a few years where I sharpened my professional skills in ATX’s silicon hills. My passion for creating, experiencing and studying art is what lead me to a career in marketing, design and project management. I am also an avid cook and have found a love for the culinary arts since I was very young. My favorite thing to make is anti pasta platter or a coffee rubbed rib-eye. I am back living in Chicago as a Digital Marketing Strategist by day, and your creative services and marketing strategist by night.
