Who am I?

I dress in all black to celebrate the death of bad design.

Bio

Since 2010, I have been immersed in the world of design. As an undergrad at Old Dominion University, I studied Fine Art with a concentration in photo media. After graduating, I settled in the eclectic city of Norfolk VA. It was living in that small city where my creativity, passion and love for cultural diversity grew.

I worked for several years under the bright lights of Harbor Park baseball stadium. I spent hot summer days chewing on sun flower seeds and photographing the Norfolk Tides AAA baseball team. During my time with the team, I had several Baseball photos published.

I later moved to the sunny, beautiful city of Virginia Beach, nestled closer to the shore line. I took on a full time job as a front end designer supporting the Navy Reserve. Working with the military and supporting the mission of the those serving has been challenging and rewarding.

When I’m not working, you can find me laughing with friends, traveling to Northern VA, sketching away, or laying on the beach enjoying the fresh ocean air.
