About

A quick witted, hard working Art Director, with creative solutions for any problem. Always looking for new and challenging experiences. Thanks to my youth soccer couch who instilled in me the importance of being team-oriented, hard working, and quick to learn new skills. I've been perfecting these characteristics my entire life.
