My Story
Born and partially raised on long island, NY. Specifically, Brentwood, NY, then transplanted to Florida. Growing up, I always had an appreciation for all mediums of art. My older brother, two of my cousins and some of my friends were into the graffiti scene. I dovetailed the admiration of their art with my love of comics and video games of all kinds. I earned a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Graphic Design back in 2008 and haven't looked back since. It was a long, difficult road breaking in to agency life but I never gave up. Fast forward to the current, and I've had the opportunity to work on a range of clients on a variety of projects and markets. I've been recognized for my work in Graphis International, Lurzer's Grand Slam, The Obie Awards, HOW International, and the Addy Awards. I'm currently a Senior Art Director at Duncan Channon based in San Francisco, California.
