My love for expressing my creativity through design began at a very early age. From age 7 to 13 years old, I spent my Saturday mornings attending a 4-hour art class that was honestly my favorite part of my weekend. Through this class, I learned everything from pastel, pen & ink, watercolor to acrylic painting, and my personal favorite, oil painting. At age 13, I attended Carver Center for Arts and Technology, a Baltimore County magnet school primarily distinguished for its many achievements in art. While there, I was able to continue my artistic journey and expand from painting to photography, sculpture, and what would turn into my career, graphic design. After Carver, I continued to college and received my BA in graphic design from Towson University. My first job out of college was with a printing company as an in-house graphic designer. Through this role, I was dually educated in both the graphic design industry and the printing industry. Then, in 2008, I took a graphic design position with FILA North America. From 2008 to present day, my roles within FILA have transitioned from Graphic Designer to Manager of Online Design to my current role as Manager of PR and Product Marketing Materials.
