Born and raised in central Ohio, I grew up in the once small town of Sunbury. I graduated from Big Walnut High School in 2015 while attending Central Ohio Technical College part time my senior year. I then went to Ashland University and graduated in 2019 with two Bachelor of Arts degreees; Commercial Art with a concentration in Graphic Design, and Digital Media Production.

I participated in Ashland University’s juried student art exhibition all four years I attended and I received an award for Digital Art and Photography in 2018. I have also been recognized as Outstanding Sophomore of the Art department (2017), Ashland University’s Intern of the Month (March 2019), Outstanding Senior by both the Art department as well as the Journalism and Digital Media department (2019), and received an Honorable Mention for my senior art exhibition (2019).

Starting in March of 2018, I was a graphic designer for Novatex North America, a manufacturing company that specializes in infant care products such as pacifiers and bottles. I designed physical product packaging for Baby-Nova’s breast milk storage bags as well as developed pacifier designs for the online company Smilo. I was also responsible for managing Smilo’s social media platforms as well as digital assets found on their website and amazon account.

Since January 2021, I have been the lead graphic designer for Tridico Silkscreen & Sign Company in Mansfield Ohio. Providing different forms of signage such as banners, vehicle vinyl wraps, print media, or fabricated metal structures for a variety of clients. I produce everything within the production process, from renders and technical drawings to screen printing and traditional cedar sandblasted signs. I have designed signage for Mansfield/Ashland local businesses as well as larger name clients such as Kokosing Construction, Cleveland CLIFFS, or Ideal Electrics.

Freelance opportunities are always welcomed. I have had the pleasure of working with Ohio State Mansfield Theatre Program, D2 Video Productions, Ashland Symphony Orchestra, and Ashland University Theatre for various live productions and by providing animation driven content. I have over 5 years experience in live event coverage, from live-to-record sporting events to live-streamed theatre productions.
