I’m a New Yorker with a Midwestern heart and a serious case of FOMO. My right and left brain have a healthy working relationship and an intellectual curiosity that drives me to dig deep into every project I approach. I’ve been called strategic, hardworking, conceptual, easy going and…a hammer. You can see the result of this schizophrenia in my work.
