Hi! I am an art director, illustrator, and award winning motion designer in NYC. I have my BA in writing from Carnegie Mellon University and MFA in animation from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I've worked as a creative in the animation and advertising industries for over 10 years. After getting laid off in December 2025, I went back to working on my pandemic project - Miette Studios - where I am currently working on larger personal creative side projects.
 
In my free time I love doing jigsaw puzzles, playing video games, taking care of my plants, and just hanging out with my dog, Olive, and cats, Twinsen and Butters. I also read a lot and love books so much (that's why I studied writing in undergrad). From story telling, to the smell of a bookstore or library, to physical forms of art, books have always been one of my favorite things!  
 
Please see my resume here.
