Education: BA of Illustration from Syracuse University

Work History: My first job upon graduation was working for a small studio that colored comic books. Our studio colored comics from a variety of different publishers including, Akklaim, Image, Marvel and I also colored numerous covers for Wizard, the comics magazine.

Building on my computer skills, I moved into the accessory/licensing industry. For over four years I designed backpacks and handbags featuring licensed characters from Disney, Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., and Peanuts.

I then moved into the publishing industry, working at HarperCollins Publishers, designing special edition book covers, catalogs, and promotional materials. I then moved on to Hachette Book Group, where I am currently the Manager of Web Graphics and Production.

When I'm not designing websites, I can be found reading comics, building WWII model airplanes, or fantasizing about becoming a pro mini golfer.

Computer Skills: MAC and PC proficient. Knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark X-Press, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Streamline.
