I can trace the exact moment I knew I wanted to be an artist back to the fourth grade when my teacher took one look at my drawing and told me, "Less is more." It sparked a fire in me to show her that more was better, and my creative journey since then has taught me that I was not made to be somebody else.

I started honing this craft during my teenage years where I spent many nights embracing my inner nerd and designing band and TV show fan sites. After high school, I sharpened my skills at the Art Institute of California - San Diego, and I furthered my experience and creativity by picking up various freelance work and internships.

I'm currently a web designer at Skechers in Manhattan Beach, California. Before I relocated to Los Angeles,
I was the Senior Graphic Designer at Emitations, an e-commerce company specializing in celebrity inspired jewelry. Our Paris Hilton CZ engagement ring was so sparkly, you could probably trick someone into thinking it was real (I certainly wasn't above it). I started as a design intern and worked my way up, managing a total of seven interns over the past five years. I have grown as a designer and a professional and am seeking to discover new creative outlets.
