About me

I’m a NYC-based senior art director.

I’m one of those former “very cool kids” that spent my childhood on the family computer, learning the 2005 edition of Adobe Photoshop Elements. Fast-forward almost twenty years, and I’m still here in Adobe.

I’m also a couple other things.

Like kind of an audiobook enthusiast, weird oil painter, swimmer, and someone who is really into increasingly useless craft projects.
