Art School

Finding The Right Path

After graduating high school with an award in art, I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Although I thoroughly loved the creative atmosphere, I wasn’t sure Fine Arts was the right career choice, and I decided to dabble in web design.

Beginning In Web Design

Jobs At The Comedy Club

Being a comedy club frequenter and already knowing some basic web design, I volunteered to do sites for comedian Tim Homayoon, and Adam Hunter, which later led to freelance work for comedian Bob DiBuono, Pete Correale, and Steve Miller.

It was in creating these web sites that I found my passion, and determined to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Art and Design at Full Sail Real World Education in Winter Park, Florida.

Accomplishments and Awards

While attending Full Sail, I wrote several articles which were published on the school’s web site, Propeller. On June 7, 2007 I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Art and Design and a second Award of Excellence (I received an Award of Excellence, Perfect Attendence, and Advanced Achievement the year before.) I was also hired for an internship with Propeller, where I helped build the design template for the site’s department pages.

After graduation I returned home to New York where I worked as a Graphic/Web Design Intern for Wind-up Records. The label’s roster features Evanescence, Seether, Finger Eleven, Hawthorne Heights, Cartel, the entire Creed repertoire, and more than a dozen developing artists which include Company of Thieves, Stars of Track and Field, Thriving Ivory, Civil Twilight, Pilot Speed and others.

In 2008 I returned from NYC to accept a position as a Studio Artist at Full Sail University. I currently work as a Studio Artist for both Studio Maintenance and Interactive Media Design and Usability.

One Of Many Talents

Musician, Gamer and Crafter Extraordinaire

In my spare time I enjoy reading, singing, playing guitar and gaming on a variety of consoles. I also love arts and crafts: making scrapbooks, collages, marble magnets, crocheting and hand binding books are some of my many talents.
