FULL BIO
I am a professional designer working in New Jersey, USA. I graduated from Rowan University with a BFA in Graphics Design in 2001 and was fortunate to find my current career with a local couple who started a design studio called Gecko Graphics, Inc.
My projects usually include designing packaging for the toy industry, product and package graphics for games, creating art for stationery products, and developing designs for many other fun things.
I have worked on licensed properties for companies such as Marvel, Sony Pictures, Classic Media, Scholastic, Disney,
As a senior design student, I created a strategy game that I eventually developed into "Da Vinci's Challenge", an award-winning board game published by Briarpatch, Inc.
I formed a company called 3 Amoebas, Inc. with the owners of Gecko Graphics to focus on the development of such products.
