I attended East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, where I received a BA in Communication Arts/Graphic Design in May of 2000.

My design career began as a CAD designer of home fashions at Springs Industries in Charlotte NC. I then turned to fashion/textile design after moving to New York City in 2002.

I currently reside in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, and work as the Art Director for a large design studio in the Fashion District of Manhattan.
As a painter, I have been creating mostly in oils and acrylics on a variety of media over the past 9 years.
