About me
I am a recent graduate from Penn State University, class of 2012. I am currently taking graudate courses in the Textile Design Department at Philadelphia University. I've always had a passion for drawing, painting or sketching any type of creativity that comes my way. My goal is to obtain a position in the apparel industry specializIng in print design. Sometimes just a simple doodle will spark an interest for a much larger piece and other times just illustrating with various media can lead to some of my best work. I currently work in Malvern, PA just outside of Philadelphia.
