While completing my final year at the Academy of Art University with a BFA in Digital Imaging & Desktop Design, I began my professional career in San Francisco, working in environmental graphics—a hands-on introduction to the design world. My path evolved into digital and web design for the travel industry at Travelocity.com, before transitioning into the wine industry, where I found my creative stride designing for Peju Winery and other distinguished wineries throughout Napa, Sonoma, and Monterey. Now based in Lake Tahoe, I work with a boutique marketing agency, providing creative design solutions across diverse brands.
