I am a graphic artist and illustrator who lives and owns a small business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Go Steelers!) I love finding the beauty in the world around me and translating it into good, smart design. I've been very lucky in that I've been able to morph a childhood hobby into a profession and I don't think that's something many people get to say. In case it's important, I am formally trained and hold a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design.

I love connecting with other young designers, artists and entrepreneurs. Getting to know other people who are passionate and dedicated to doing what they love inspires me. It amazes me that my generation is so determined to make something of ourselves, for ourselves, by ourselves.

Overall, I would describe myself as a passionate creative thinker who loves laughing, tacos, cat videos and the color pink.

Let's be friends.
