I am a Graphic Designer based out of Brooklyn, New York. I have a BA in Graphic Design that I received from the New England Institute of Art in Boston. Currently I work for Nickelodeon in Manhattan and also have been freelancing for Design Instruct and PSDFan where I am a regular contributor.

I have been featured in two issues of Advanced Photoshop Magazine thus far in my career, and have also been in two art exhibits, most recently for the Art of Fashion Show at Webster Hall in January, 2010.

I am mostly known for creating Digital Art but am also a hobbyist Photographer and Illustrator with some Web Design and Music Production experience. I am fascinated by any and everything related to art and design, and I look forward to meeting other talented artists here!
