MY STORY

A few of my favorite things.

Raised amidst the stunning landscapes of the Sierra Nevada and Appalachian Mountains, I grew up skiing and cultivated an enthusiasm for cycling, hiking, and kayaking. These environments, rich in history and folk art, also fueled my passion for art, culture, and visual storytelling.

After earning my Integrative Arts degree from Penn State University, I moved to New York to pursue a career in film and television, specializing in graphic and scenic arts. To this day, I remain engaged in the city's dynamic arts scene and love exploring the state's scenic trails and waterways.

My interest in narrative ethnography led me to a graduate degree in Folklore and Folklife from the University of Pennsylvania, where I explored storytelling and cultural identity. I further honed my visual storytelling skills with a certification in documentary filmmaking from George Washington University.

Creating memorable stories. 

Folklore is the living art of sharing stories. Exceptional stories endure because they are remembered, and design amplifies their impact. With over 15 years of experience, I create memorable narratives through text, photography, video, animation, and graphics. My work ranges from micro-documentaries that illuminate personal experiences to animated explainer videos that simplify complex ideas.

With expertise in folklore, graphic design, and documentary filmmaking, I bring a unique perspective to short-form multimedia storytelling. My goal is to create content that engages audiences and encourages meaningful connections.
