I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where I developed an early interest in design and visual storytelling. I earned an Associate’s degree in Graphic Design and Illustration from Kingsborough Community College in 2012 and was accepted into the School of Visual Arts to continue my education. While I ultimately couldn’t pursue that path due to tuition costs, it became a turning point rather than a stopping point.
Instead of stepping away from design, I leaned into real-world experience. Through freelance work and client collaborations, I began building a career grounded in hands-on problem solving, adaptability, and constant learning. Working with people across different industries and backgrounds taught me how to think critically, communicate clearly, and deliver work that serves both creative and practical goals.
Experience became my classroom, and it continues to shape how I approach design today, with an emphasis on clarity, usability, and intent.
