My passion for art has carried me through life. While earning a Theater degree at Fordham University I discovered a love for costume design. Soon after came Fashion Illustration and Sculpture courses at Parsons, until I found my way to the incredible Toy Design program at FIT. This was where I earned my BFA and everything I loved finally came together.

After graduating, I worked at the Madame Alexander Doll Company for 6 years realizing my childhood dream of making dolls. Today I draw, write, and create in the always-inspiring city of New York.
