I grew up a country bumpkin wielding a paintbrush. I painted murals, volunteered in art & 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. So I took a leap of faith into Industrial Design at Rhode Island School of Design, where I learned woodworking, metalworking, and product design. Eventually I discovered UI/UX design, which blends my passion for human-centered design, psychology, and visual storytelling.

I like to go fishing, bake, make handmade gifts, and take long walks in the forests of New England where I call home.
