About Me.
Growing up in Rhode Island, I developed a deep love for art and design from an early age. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in film, commercial design, manufacturing, production, and events; and I take pride in the skills I’ve honed along the way. Bringing people together through my work is something I’m passionate about, and I’m always motivated by the chance to learn and grow. I’m goal-oriented, always aiming for that perfect blend of creativity and practicality.
