ABOUT

THE LAST FEW YEARS

Most people would shy away from or hide their unusual career trajectory, polishing out kinks to share what people “want to hear”. But my unconventional path filled with innovation, independence, problem-solving, and real-world experience is an asset to any team.

I’m 21 years old. I graduated high school a year early with a 3.95 GPA and Honors while enrolled in a digital marketing trade school. I joined the Honors program in college to study design and marketing after graduating from the trade school. I applied and was accepted to the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC for Communications Design.

Then, plot twist, I turned them down and dropped out of college.

I opened an experience company with my ex-boyfriend and scaled it to six figures where I designed successful brand activations for Rolls Royce, NYPD, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Bentley, Kahlua, and more as well as events for private clients in The Hamptons, Billionaires Row NYC, Bryant Park, Star Island Miami, American Dream Mall, The Poconos, and more. 

Before that, I interned under pioneers in the field of strategy, The Nucleus Group, to learn what tools and techniques are being used at the forefront of the field for global brands. Notable clients of theirs include Johnson & Johnson, UNICEF, F. Schumacher & Co, Martha Stewart, etc. Beyond strategy and design, I learned human-centered design, its economic benefits, strategic thinking, and working on big-budget, time-sensitive projects with little room for error. I also gained experience working with a creative team and doing client relations and communication.

These are just some of my successful real-world projects and initiatives that compliment my formal training in graphic design. I’ve also returned to school since dropping out of college to complete my degree (realizing that I’m a total geek - in the best way possible - who just loves to learn and get better).
