I'm born and raised Chicagoan working in Design and Marketing, but exploring the arts, technology, and communications in anyway that I can. Since first discovering Adobe Photoshop CS4 and MySpace as a preteen, I have been interested in designing, prototyping, refining, and creating digital art and interactive spaces. Over the years, the tools and platforms have changed, but the curiosity remained. After spending a few years in the service industry I decided to return to school, eventually graduating magna cum laude with a BA in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago. These days, I'm most often found at home with my partner Laurel and our four pets: Bear, Piper, Neelix, and Alixia. I'm probably working on a way to incorporate automation and/or AI into my Dungeons & Dragons campaigns.
