Proud Floridian living in the East Bay. Has a heightened knowledge of citrus, alligators, southern colloquialisms (ask me about "swamp cabbage”) and all things design. Equipped with a degree in graphic design and a master's in motion graphics, I'm a creative thinker that loves how animation can breath life into an idea. When not art directing, you can find me hanging out with my dog, Dexter, or watching re-runs of Frasier.
