about

I am Ohio born and raised and grew up in the country side valley of state near Atwood Lake. Growing up with our nearest neighbors miles away, I grew up with what my mother calls a "interesting imagination".  

My summers where filled with adventures in the woods on our farm, as well as classic car shows with my dad. I was raised in a barn playing with chickens and ducks, and in the moments I was inside. I was creating lego villages, drawing and creating characters based on my farm animals. 

I attended trade school in high school for graphic arts where I learned how I could produce and sell my art. This lead me the the Computer Design program at Kent State University. After graduation I worked in Advertising, In-House Designing, Production and Management, Concept Art and Freelance that had gained me a variety of experiences in my 12+ year career.

Now I find myself teaching Graphic Design, while still pursuing my art passions. I love working with my hands and creating new things. I currently reside in New Philadelphia, Ohio with my 2 dogs, cat and hedgehog. I am obsessed with all things pop culture, Harry Potter and X-Men. I enjoy puns, dad jokes, traveling and spending time with my family.
