Born and raised in Ohio, I graduated with honors from the Cleveland Institute of Art with a BFA in Digital Art. During my junior year, with a focus on designing for performance, I took a semester abroad to study Theater Design at Central Saint Martins in London, England.

After graduation I began working as a Production Assistant on local film projects (Spiderman 3) before being employed at the commercial interior design firm Richardson Design. In 2006, I moved to Los Angeles where I continued working on a variety of feature film (Oppenheimer) and television projects (Young Sheldon, Better Things). I am currently working as a Set Dressing Buyer in the Los Angeles area.
