As a small child, sitting near the Christmas tree, arranging and rearranging the presents until they looked ‘just so’; I had no idea that this was an activity that would later shape and define my life.

From my first high school job at the Disney Store through employment with, and clients like Nordstrom, Tiffany & Co, Hyde Park Jewelers, Ralph Lauren, Taubman and the numerous independent retailers, my passion for the creative process is surpassed only by my desire to create visual stories that are thought provoking, engaging, Imaginative and beautiful. 

Whether executing the design, interpreting and implementing a design directive, or carrying out a vision through team and project management, I strive for the outcome of every project to be extraordinary.

This passion for the creative also carries over into other areas of my life. One in particular, that once again was developed at an early age that found its way back into my life as an adult, is the love of acting. Bringing the same desire for imaginative storytelling, when not designing I spend as much time as possible on stage or in front of the camera.

Today, in all creative areas of my life I continue to find excitement in mixing new ideas with old strategies, constantly drawing inspiration from things around me and discovering innovative and fresh ways to see and use ordinary things.

And yes, I still rearrange the presents under the tree to look ‘just so’.
