Born and raised in Cary, North Carolina, there were two things I always enjoyed: art and swimming. My art was limited to what I was doing in school, but I always tried to take as many art classes as possible. Swimming became my passion and it would eventually lead to me swimming for a division 1 college, Seton Hall University. As I neared the end of my swimming career my love for art and my competitiveness grew into something new, a passion for video games and digital media. Here my exposure to design blossomed and I started to figure out how to combine the things I loved with the career path I had discovered.

In May of 2023 I graduated from Seton Hall University with a B.A. in Art, Design, and Interactive Multimedia, with a concentration in Interactive Design and Multimedia. Here I gained experience with using Figma and Adobe Creative Suite applications such as Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, XD, and After Effects.
