An intense interest in human communication is deeply wired within me, and I live my life as an observer as well as a creator. I find myself drawn to visual stories and narratives that speak to the human condition and are told through film, photographs, print or in digital realms. I spend much of my time immersed in these mediums. Professionally, I landed in the world of graphic design and communications over six years ago. Since then I haven’t looked back. I’ve worked as a graphic designer in both the commercial agency and nonprofit worlds, and currently am the in-house designer and communications coordinator for The Pittsburgh Promise. I also work with a variety of freelance clients, mainly specializing in nonprofit design and communications. Additionally I have serve on the board of AIGA Pittsburgh.
