Showcase & Discover Creative Work

In 2008, I was introduced to social media and it was love at first tweet. Besides the cute bird, immediately I was enthralled with this new concept beginning to explode online: real-time updates on a free, open communication channel. Suddenly we, as users, we're breaking the "breaking news," and there were no barriers for who, where, and how many you could reach. Looking back from where social media is now, that tweet was just the beginning. And at the time, I knew we were in for bigger things to come. Things bigger than Facebook-friending.

Two of my strongest attributes are my positive energy and eagerness to learn, and continue to learn. Ongoing development and staying on the cusp of change are of crucial importance in both the digital and art worlds, as change occurs almost daily. While I enjoy team collaboration, my ambitious work ethic and dedication drive me to consistently produce strong independent results as well.
