[BIO]
I'm originally from Boston, self taught with a degree in passion and a love for the craft with the
DNA of two artistic parents in the blood as an eighties baby of influences. My father before me
drew transformer toy schematics, my mom paints souls into her canvas. In 2004 I moved to
California to pursue working with entertainment studios, starting in the video game industry on
high profile published projects and picking up my own digital skills along the way. For more
creative input and content variety, I established 1st Grade Design in 2009 with my professional
coding partner Dan Griffin as our ongoing design entity, offering a duo of abilities to take on all
web and print media needs. In addition to projects tailored to the interest of 1st Grade Design,
I'm currently working with recording artists, models and small business owners in Los Angeles.
My work throughout remains focused on creativity in concept and execution with my own brand
of style. I truly enjoy communicating the ambitions of those that put their trust behind me.
