I was born and raised on Long Island, NY and I am currently living in Queens, NY. Starting at a very young age I had a passion for art and creating things. I have worked for a graphic design company for over 8 years. Our main client is Forum Novelties, a well known costume, accessory and novelty company. Working in such a creative and fast paced environment has made me grow artistically and has helped me manage my time over the years. I have been a part of so many aspects of the design process. From coming up with an idea, to researching and executing my own interpretation, to finalizing art, having it sent out to print and finally getting the samples to use in a photoshoot. Being involved in all these things has made me very well rounded. The thing i love most about my job is when i see my final products and designs out in the real world. It gives me so much excitement to see my packages on the walls at stores or someone on the street wearing something i have designed.
