MY STORY

A Few of My Favorite Things

Born amidst the stunning landscapes of the Sierra Nevada, and raised in the rugged beauty of the Appalachian Mountain range, I grew up skiing and cultivated an enthusiasm for cycling, hiking, and kayaking. After earning an Integrative Arts degree from Penn State University, I moved to New York to pursue a career in film and television, focusing on 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 at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied how storytelling shapes culture and identity. Folklore is not just tradition—it is the living art of sharing stories from person to person. Exceptional stories endure because they are remembered, and dynamic design enhances their impact. My expertise lies in crafting memorable stories through text, photos, video, animation, and graphics.

With over 15 years of experience, I have produced everything from micro-documentaries that illuminate personal narratives to animated explainer videos that simplify complex ideas. Each project is designed to capture the essence of a story and engage audiences in meaningful ways. My unique background in folklore, graphic design, and documentary filmmaking fuels my passion for short-form multimedia storytelling. I am dedicated to creating content that resonates and leaves a lasting impression.
