“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” - Andy Warhol
About
While growing up in the suburbs of NYC, I dreamt of meeting Andy Warhol and working at The Factory! When this didn’t happen, I attended FITNYC, my summers were spent painting leather jackets, and working as a shampoo girl, (a very cool shampoo girl). After a short 'finding myself' traveling venture I accepted a freelance design position at Disney Consumer Products in NYC. This experience began my love of and career in consumer products.
Fun Fact
I have a French tattoo, but I don’t speak French. I am an unapologetic Hibernophile, Francophile, Anglophile, animal lover, and Rick Springfield devotee, (see pic)
Music (from The Stooges to Shirley Bassey) has always been a passion of mine! My dream job would be the opportunity to create merch and identity for bands.
Admittedly, I'm not your average bear, and I walk to the beat of my own drum, but generally I don’t take myself too seriously.
