My passion for the arts
has led me into the world of design. Though they can coincide together, I see them as two very different entities.
Beginning as an artist, I majored in Visual Arts at the Pinellas County Center for the Arts program (PCCA) at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, Florida. PCCA fostered an art experience that introduced its students to Fine Art, instilling foundational and lifelong art practices that I often still utilize today. It was my experience here that created a space for me to fall in love with the approach of art to everyday life.
I later went on to study Fashion Marketing and Management at the Savannah College of Art and Design to pursue my childhood dream of working in Fashion. Art School gave me the opportunity to build upon my artistic knowledge and place it into the lens of design. After college I later did work as a Fashion Stylist allowing me to relocate to NYC. So how did I get into the Digital tech space? Shortly after moving, my diverse background led me into work as a Project Manager, creating Graphic Designs and managing project outputs for 2 years at a homegrown T-Shirt company. I fell in love with the process of digital creation and was shortly introduced to UX Design. It was this introduction that changed my career trajectory.
Understanding that humans are at the center of design has allowed me to connect my passions into one multi-faceted spectrum. People are versatile and yet we're all connected by some of the most mainstream platforms. This both fascinates and excites me leaving me more than happy to state that I'm here to design for the people.
