Education

The Art Institute Of Pittsburgh

Bachelors Degree

After working in the field a few years as an in-house designer and as a freelancer, I decided to go back to school in order to have the credentials to further my career. Professionally I had the talent and the knowledge, but I had been experiencing a glass ceiling effect, where employers were only looking for designers with bachelor degrees.
