I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. My passion for graphic design began at 91.7 KVRX, the college radio station at The University of Texas. At KVRX, I created graphics for Local Live, a weekly live music television broadcast, and KVRX Fest, the largest college radio music festival.
My appreciation for music and the arts has remained an integral part of my design career. I currently work as a graphic designer at The Juilliard School, a performing arts conservatory located at the Lincoln Center in New York City.
I also create experimental video art, multimedia installations, and live visual performances. My award-winning experimental films have screened at galleries, theaters, and festivals internationally. I help organize community art events in NYC to support accessible arts education, collaboration, and creative experimentation.
