I grew up a country bumpkin wielding a paintbrush. I painted murals, explored art in gaming communities, even ran a clothing business. Naturally, I wanted to pursue art. However, I wanted my creativity and love of collaboration to further drive real world impact, help people, and build partnerships. I took a leap of faith into Industrial Design at Rhode Island School of Design - I learned woodworking, metalworking, and product design. Today I blend my passion for human-centered design, psychology, and visual storytelling.

I like to go fishing, bake egg tarts, make handmade gifts, and take long walks.
