New Media Artist · Motion Graphics · Digital Art · Design

A proud graduate of Purchase College's New Media program (from which I graduated Magna Cum Laude in May of 2016): I tend to take a detail-oriented approach to design, media production, and marketing projects. I have formal training and extensive work experience in using the entire Adobe Creative Suite, most notably After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator (all of which I have been using since CS3 was the standard).

If function and form must both co-exist in uncommon/spontaneous encounters and everyday applications, then why not have a little fun with how those bleed into each other? My artwork takes a stark and concise look at modern media through a unique (but still distinctly millennial) worldview, deconstructing electronics, their use in daily life, and why they are used to such a massive extent.
