This site was designed using Photoshop and Illustrator, and coded in HTML and CSS. It was built using modx.  All photography on this site was taken by my talented friend, Alfred Giancarli.

background

When I was little and had an art project, my father would sit me down with a C-Thru graphics ruler and show me how to lay out and draw the letters of any text I wanted to include, so that nothing was too cramped, or fell off the page. I’d like to say that’s when it all started, but it took another 10 years or so and a brief stint as an aerospace engineering major in college before I got on the right track and devoted all my time to graphic design. A couple of years later the discovery of my grandmother’s handwritten memoir led me to book design and binding. After producing a handbound limited edition of her book, I never looked back.

I usually focus on print design, but have been making websites for 10 years. My affinity for science has led me to be an analytical problem solver, which comes in handy every day. I love designing and working with my hands, and I equally love writing code, and getting websites to cooperate.

I am a Brooklyn native currently residing in Astoria, Queens with my ridiculous cat, Buzz Aldrin Fluffertons. I enjoy making things, traveling, and looking at art. I can also juggle (objects and projects), and am slowly learning to become ambidextrous.
