I spent my early years growing up on the East Coast. My two brothers and I grew up near Charlotte, North Carolina. When I was 14 years old, my parents decided to move our family to Evergreen, Colorado. After attending my first "real" art class in high school, I knew art was what I wanted to do with my life. I just had to find out how to make a living doing it.

After high school, I studied Graphic Design at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. It felt like the right path for me. It was a creative career that pushed me in all the right ways and used my skills. I loved my Bachelors program. After college, I moved to Denver to apply for a job in design and live closer to family. 

Since then, I have worked various positions including designer, developer, web designer, QA analyst and production assistant. I have freelanced, worked at start-ups and large corporate companies. These experiences have pushed me to grow as an artist, designer and creative. ​
