Hello! I’m an Art Director/Illustrator in the Los Angeles area looking to pivot to game art and game design. I’ve been creating little levels and faking screenshots since I was about 10 years old. While I have done a lot of independent research on design theory, I’m currently enrolled in classes with CalArts and Michigan State University to improve my foundational knowledge as I work on breaking into the industry.

I got my Bachelor’s of Communication with a concentration in Advertising from Boston University in 2018, but I’m still acquiring skills and watching tutorials on subjects ranging from video editing to game design to 3D modeling. I’ve held management positions both in my campus job in the Philanthropy department and as President of AdLab, America’s largest student-run advertising agency. Like many creatives, I enjoy the freedom of working in my own time, but I’m no stranger to adapting to the expectations of a larger organization.

My work has appeared in TV spots, Times Square, a scientific journal, video games, YouTube channels, and more. I’m always excited by the prospect of working in a new medium. I’m looking forward to your email, and hope we can work together soon.
