Who Am I

Artist, Interactive Designer,
Creative Thinker, & Planner

  • Interactive Designer who is passionate about digital art and strategic development of human interaction with design and media. I focus my designs on consumer/user interaction, as well as research backed intentions, which stand to deliver metaphors, empathy, and personal experience and connection in hopes of creating a relationship and experience with the user. I am fascinated with the integration of movement, convenience, and phycological effects and interactions between the user and design. I like to hit-the-ground-running, stay busy, and constantly develop new opportunities and networking.

  • Outside of the office I am serve as a Digital Marketing Advisor and Strategist, assisting in strategic proposals and creating designs for digital marketing initiatives. I also assist in freelance event photography, most recently for the Bloomfield Special Olympics, and events at St. Thomas the Apostle School Community.

 
  • My perspective is not “How did they do it?” but rather “How can it be done differently?” I believe “Examples are ideas of where not to start”. Though branding, regulations, and tasks are deeply ingrained with design, if the idea exists as an example, it suggests what has already been done. It's time to ask not only “What is successful?”, but also “What is not being accomplished and considered?”

    While there's the common constraint of "In the box" thinking, or even "Out of the box" thinking; we need ask about the box itself.... shape? dimensions? color? appeal? attraction? dynamics? (etc.) – At this point, interactivity, data & research, and psychology form and build perceptions and ideas for advancements in design thinking and impact.
