About the Artist

I’m a graphic designer, muralist, and artist based in the Adirondack Park in New York, and I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from SUNY Plattsburgh. My work spans painting and design, and I’m known for bold color palettes and pieces that highlight light and faith.

Beyond technical skill, I’m driven by my love for people, creativity, and storytelling. I pay close attention to detail, but I care even more about meaning. How a design feels, what it communicates, and how it connects with the person experiencing it. I aim to create work that feels honest, personal, and purposeful.
