I was raised by hippies and radicals in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco. It was a hub of culture and I came of age at the center of it all. I went to a performing arts high-school and received my BFA in Mass Communications and Theatre Arts from Emerson College. After graduation I moved to NYC and started my career in media. I spent a decade producing unscripted shows and documentaries for VH1, MTV, TLC and Oxygen. In 2008, I took a hiatus from tv production to pursue an interest in advertising. I attended a two-year portfolio program in Art Direction at Miami Ad School in San Francisco and graduated with a new found creative confidence. Since then I have worked as a freelance creative partner alongside film directors, tv producers and network executives - translating big concepts into visual representations that inspire new perspectives.
