About
I am a graphic designer, production artist and fine artist living and working in Los Angeles. Originally from Atlanta, GA, I received my B.A. in studio art from Bard College in upstate New York in 1999. After five years in New York City I moved to La Jolla, CA to attend University of California San Diego's Masters Program in Visual Arts. I received my MFA in 2007 before moving to L.A. where I worked as a freelancer for a wide variety of companies. Currently, I am a graphic designer at Belkin. Stay tuned for new work soon...

Role: Print Production
As part of the team for the classic lingerie brand Frederick's of Hollywood I've excelled at extremely heavy production on catalogs, as well as designed signage and internal newsletters for retail.

I have also been doing photo retouching and production for the expanded website.

Catalog for "The Wood" Art Exhibition
This catalog went towards completion of my MFA degree in Visual Arts from UCSD. I did all of the design and production of the catalog, in addition to making all of the artwork pictured in it, and directing the photo shoots of the artwork. The work deals with the wood as a romantic space, as well as wood as a material. The catalog communicates the fairytale aspect of the work, reflected in the text, with its large drop-caps, and images that unfold like a story book.
