I grew up in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco, raised by community of artists and free-spirited hippies. This experience molded my perspective and paved the way for a life driven by creativity.

I went to a performing arts high school and earned my BFA in Mass Communications and Theatre Arts from Emerson College.

Fulfilling a dream, I moved to New York City, and entered a decade-long career in media. Working with networks like VH1, MTV, TLC, and Oxygen, I developed skills in producing unscripted shows and documentaries.

Then, in 2008, I pursued a new interest: advertising.

This shift led me to Miami Ad School in San Francisco, where I immersed myself in a two-year Art Direction portfolio program.

With a newfound creative awareness, I delved into the world of freelance work.

Collaborating with film directors, TV producers, and network executives, I specialize in transforming concepts into visuals that inspire new perspectives.
