I am a creator.
Whether it’s photos, graphics, large dinners, anything and everything that involves creativity and building.
I’m a Creative Director, a skilled and innovative multimedia designer, and social media manager based in Connecticut. I enjoy being out of my comfort zone as much as I enjoy the prospect of continuously learning and applying new skills. As a creative, I love collaborating and I’m always excited to figure out the next great idea. Let’s work together.
