About Me

A growth-minded creative thinker and problem solver
with 17+ years of professional experience.

From my early days growing up in Cleveland, to my college years in Columbus, to my decade abroad in Hong Kong, creativity has always been my driving force. It has driven my desire to constantly learn more and has propelled my professional evolution from printing and publishing, to editorial production, to web hosting and development, to digital marketing and social media, to photography and videography.

Experience

From small publishers, to industry leaders,
to my own startup, and more.
