As a designer I seek critical thinking through critical making. I find interest in balancing design that is informed by research and thorough concept development while engaging a level of playfulness, exploration, and surprise.

Studied in the BFA graphic design program at CalArts, where I was able to work on developing a personal approach to all of my projects.

College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM, US, Bachelors, Graphic Design
Although originally relocated to Santa Fe enrolled in the school's film program, within a semester I had transferred to the graphic design program. Unfortunately the school shut down due to problems in its administration—although it re-opened its doors almost immediately after being purchased and transformed into Santa Fe University of Art and Design—after which was fortunate enough to complete my studies at CalArts.
