Co-Founder

ACTS Clinic

I went to ACTS to help them however I could.  What I ended up doing was helping them to upgrade their network infrastructure to link the main clinic with the pharmacy as well as to other local health resources.  I also won them grants from Microsoft and Dell for new software and computers.

Volunteer

Since 2009, I've been using animation to tell stories that matter. Stories are powerful. They tell us who we are, what we believe in, and how we should relate to the world around us. My life is dedicated to using that power to make the world a better place for everyone in it.

Duke & Duck is the Emmy award-winning content studio I started with my best friend Dave back in 2009. We produce brand videos, social content, explainers, advocacy campaigns, and animation for documentaries. Most of our work is direct to clients where we serve as strategic advisors and content creators, but we also work with select agencies as partners. We have years of experience creating award-winning animated content for household brands, including: Capital One, the ACLU, Nestlé, Patagonia, and National Geographic.

In 2022, I founded Double Scoop Studio with a single goal: To make sure that the next generation has access to stories that put as much emphasis on positive social values and impact as they do on entertainment and turning a profit. We make proprietary content for non-profits who want to reach kids, and develop and produce our own original IP. Our partners include the American Red Cross and PBS Kids.

I develop pitch ideas, character development and design, and write stories. I’m so excited to share my visions and stories with young audience!

Concept Developer

I work on art direction, storyboarding, and illustration for various animated projects. It was a big career change from my previous field, but it’s the best big career decision I’ve ever made!

Illustrator

Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

I was an illustrator and graphic designer for Hollister Girls and Gilly Hicks, and created graphics for tees, fleece, sweaters, sleepwear and sleep accessories, patches, packaging, tags, and undies in various media, including print (plastisol and sublimation,) embroidery, appliqué, and intarsia. I also worked on developing concepts for each season, creating presentations, fashion illustrations, and garment samples for each upcoming season. I worked through each design from start to finish, from presenting ideas backed by market and trend research, creating the graphics, presenting them in meetings, creating production files to be sent to the vendors, giving feedbacks on samples, and the final approval.

Illustrator, Graphic Designer

The Repository

As a graphic artist / illustrator on a very tight deadline for daily newspaper publishing, I've successfully met every deadline while offering the company my creative inputs.

My deadlines ranged from several weeks to 30 minutes, and I've managed my time well to meet every needs from writers and editors. Since this was a news organization, change was always bound to come up, but I kept myself very flexible and open to any suggestions.

I've worked both independently and as a part of a team. I found both experiences rewarding. Working independently gave me a chance to concentrate on my design skills and exploring my creativity, while working in a team exposed me to fresh perspectives and allowed me to gain better ideas by bouncing opinions with my fellow team members.
