In My Own Words
Growing up in South Jersey and being surrounded by beaches, skate parks, live music venues and the Pine Barrens have influenced the style of artworks I create. I began with photography in 2009, which was my primary hobby for many years and is often an integral part of my creative process. I graduated from Stockton University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts/concentration in Visual Communications in May of 2022. My goal now is to keep growing within my field and primarily focus on creating designs for graphic apparel.
