ABOUT
I am a problem solver by nature, a graphic designer by profession. Since completing my BFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I've been from Boston to New York and back, specializing in editorial design, digital art direction, and really, really killer typography. I've worked with clients from fashion (Vogue Magazine) to finance (Bank of America) developing brands, designing print collateral, and building responsive websites.
I think editorial thoughts. I believe that digital technology has only made print more important, and one can't exist without the other. I have an irrational fear of birds. And I'm ridiculously passionate about what I do.
