​My Background

I am a native Rhode Islander and have lived here all my life enjoying the four seasons. Growing up, I always had a passion for art and drawing. Then, I developed a huge interest in computers and desktop publishing. I wanted to learn how to combine the two as a profession. Was there such a thing? In my sophomore year of high school, my desktop publishing class had a field trip to a printing company in Providence and that is when I met many graphic designers who had the same passions as I did. I found the answer of how to combine art and computers... becoming a graphic artist.

From that point on, I never turned back. At the age of 15, I was designing and developing pieces for my high school events, departments of the Town Hall, police departments, and anything else I could get my hands on. I self taught all the necessary graphic programs to get the jobs done. At that point, I was well prepared to enter my college curriculum at Rhode Island College. In 2002, I received my bachelor’s degree in graphic design with a minor in industrial technology. Having an understanding of the industrial aspect of design,  this gives me a huge advantage to be a well-rounded and knowledgeable designer in both ends of the business.
