My work in the field of graphic design began in 1997 as an undergraduate at Syracuse University. I've since had the opportunity to grow as a designer and art director at a variety of leading studios in NYC, both large and small.

With interests gearing towards time-based media, I completed my MFA at Parsons in 2004, in the Design & Technology department, and embarked on five-year documentary film project.

In 2007, I co-founded Double Triple, a Brooklyn-based design studio focusing on print, motion, and interactive projects for business, nonprofit, cultural and culinary clients. I've since left the company in 2011 to pursue self-initiated work under my own name.

My most recent fascination is the art of printmaking. Using this medium as a way to explore endless variations in form, color, and transparency - my latest work has resulted in mixed-media collage and textile design. Most of these pieces are available for purchase in my shop.

My graduate studies at Parsons, introduced me to the possibilities of documentary filmmaking which developed into a five year project. In collaboration with Kirby Conn and Rainlake Productions, I directed and co-produced the documentary film Odd Ones Out which won a Telly Award in 2008.

The film documents four years in the courageous lives of three transgender teens as they transition into adulthood and face life-altering events. It's a coming of age story about trying to fit in while fighting against society's rigid boundaries. Currently, OOO is distributed abroad through ITVS Global and here in the US through Cinema Guild.

As part-time faculty at Parsons The New School for Design and New York University, I currently teach classes in 2D Design and Time-Based Media. Here is a full list of courses and an archive of student work from 2003 to present.
