I’ve had a passion for creativity since I was very young, and that spark has never gone away. When I first started drawing, I was five years old, which kickstarted my creative path through life. However, I only started designing (and the occasional printmaking) when I was fifteen—a decade-long jump.

My small high school in Bristol, Vermont allowed me to pursue potential fields that were never previously open to me. The Hannaford Career Center in Middlebury, Vermont held a Fine Arts and Design course that kicked my brain into gear, and I immediately knew that that’s what I wanted to continue doing.
