Alumni Graphic Design '88

I'm an advertising creative and graphic designer. I also love making cards! My family moved from Northern Ohio to Southwest Florida when I was a teenager. Florida's simple, colorful environment was a huge influence to me as a graphic artist. Attending Ringling College of Art & Design was an obvious decision. After graduation, I moved to bustling NYC, where effective communication is a part of everyday life. The city's quirky, collective energy provides me with endless ideas for cards to help people stay connected.
