Graphic Designer

Creative & Design

I'm a designer currently working & living in Chicago.
My specialties include apparel graphics and sports design. I've created over 900 apparel pieces while working with New Balance Team Sports including Track & Field, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball and Lacrosse. These designs include numerous NCAA, High School, and Club teams. These designs range from full custom sublimation, to screenprint and heat transfer graphics.

I previously worked in the fabrication industry, designing furniture and cabinetry. We produced the designs in our own large production facility in Chicago. I worked closely with fabricators, architects, and other designers. I would often jump in and help the team with fabrication if needed.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and graduated from Columbus College of Art & Design and continued my studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago for my MFA graduate degree.
