I graduated from University of Cincinnati School of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP). Business Week ranked DAAP’s design programs as one of the world’s elite. DAAP pioneered the Professional Practice Program, which gives designers practical experience purposefully intermingled with a gradually expanding academic background. While pursuing my Bachelor’s of Science degree, I worked for several design firms including ST Publications, Bridge Integrated Media, and Advanced Computer Graphics.
Post graduation I worked as the Lead Designer for the North American operations of Homes & Land Magazine, one of the most popular real estate listing publication in the US and Canada.
I was responsible for the creative design and layout for all corporate marketing materials including new product lines, periodical advertisements for Homes & Land, Estates & Homes and Rental Guide magazines; specialized periodicals such as Move Magazine, direct mail postcards, email blasts, trade show graphics and video editing.
From 2011 to 2013 I worked for Wilderness Graphics, Inc. creating educational/interpretive panels, websites, and signage for national wildlife refuges, parks, museums, nature centers, and conservation organizations throughout the United States and the Caribbean.
I have donated design services to several non profit organizations including the Spread the Love and Letters to Our Community as well as creating the program for the 8th Annual LeMoyne Chain of Parks Art Festival showcasing the artwork of over one-hundred artists from across the United States.
Currently I work for Golden Dragon, Inc. where I am responsible for overseeing product photography, catalog and print design, including social media, stationary, website, and presentation design.
