ABOUT
Originally from New Hampshire my combined passion for snowboarding and creative expression landed me a design position at Snowboarder Magazine in Southern California. Given the opportunity to create art freely I flourished and was promoted and moved to the position as Art Director for Surfer Magazine where I designed magazine layouts for over 3 years.
I diversified with website and catalog design for an international company as the Art Director for Spray Planet by Montana Colors. When I decided to go back into action sports I was hired by Liquid Force, a wakeboard company in Encinitas, California. I enjoyed this work until Covid hit and the company decided to close the office and put me on as a contract designer. I added contract work for Loudmouth Golf and Choice Juicery to round out my work schedule.
In the spring of 2023 I decided to move back east to buy a home and live closer to family and to look for full time work with one company. I am currently seeking a position as an Art Director or Senior Graphic Designer for a company looking for a creative mind that can use my skills and experience to help grown and expand their company. My internal desire to design has given rise to my extraordinary journey over the past 12 years. I can’t wait to see where it takes me next.
I am driven by my passion; I connect myself to the project, with Love, and before I know it I am working long hours for it.
