I own a youthful curiosity that motivates me to try new avenues in the design world. With 5 years of experience, I specialize in pre-press and production, marketing collateral and editorial layout. Presently I am Assistant Art Director for Levy Madison, a creative communications company. I most recently served as a Graphic Designer for AV Graphics, Inc., providing graphics support for the New York Stock Exchange. In the past I've worked with Citigroup, Doubledown Media, Clutch Media & Marketing, Turnstile Publishing, Westgate Resorts and the Millenia Fine Art Gallery. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY New Paltz where I was actively involved as a member of the AIGA and President of the Art History Association. Since college I've continued to express my fine art side through charcoal drawing. Similar to my career, I am always looking for new experiences in my personal life. My present extracurricular activities and interests include: studying Italian language, tennis, golf, hiking, poetry, art history, art therapy, digital photography, community galleries and museums, international travel, football and reading novels.
