Personal Biography:

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Film & Media Studies and Art & Art History from Colgate University, and a Master's degree in Interactive Media Arts (IMA) from NYU Tisch and NYU Shanghai. My journey as an art director has been enriched by a diverse range of experiences in production and design, including app design, AR work, videography and post production work, illustration, and work with both hardware and software for a number of companies and organizations as well as personal and academic projects.

Professionally, I've contributed to several notable projects. At the Chenango Canal Association, I directed and filmed a promotional video and short historical documentary, managing everything from gathering film and archival materials to post-production. Similarly, my role at Hudson Headwaters Health Network involved creating promotional videos for the network’s 40th anniversary, diving into photo archives and consulting their team to accurately portray their past and convey their goals for the future.

As a designer and assistant at Colgate University, I collaborated on exhibition curation, researching vintage cameras and designing vitrine banners. My experience also extends to prestigious events like the Gotham Awards Ceremony, where I managed guest check-ins and contributed to the event coordination. For my thesis at NYU, I programmed NReal AR glasses using color look-up tables to be used as an accessibility device for neurodivergent people in everyday scenarios that have an overwhelming amount of visual stimuli.

My design philosophy centers around ensuring that my work seamlessly aligns with my clients' goals while being technologically functional and having a lasting impact. I aim to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also effective and enduring. Whether through meticulous research, collaborative efforts, or innovative problem-solving, I strive to meet and exceed client expectations in every project.
