With a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor in Fine/Studio Arts from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I have cultivated a diverse career in design and marketing.

Previously, I owned a business crafting custom surfboards and art for notable clients like The Grateful Dead and MGK, while participating in prominent Los Angeles art markets. My work has been featured in publications such as Portfolio Magazine and Shoutout LA. As Brand Director at Silent Visual Media, I led initiatives to integrate Deaf culture into media projects, branding a $1.5 million game show and developing sign language interfaces. My role as a Sales and Marketing Representative at FORMOSI involved crafting marketing campaigns that boosted sales and brand visibility. My experience spans creative design, brand development, and strategic marketing.
