Visual Art – New York - Brooklyn

Illustrating has always been for me, a visual form of communication. As a very shy child, drawing was my only creative outlet. With pencil and paper I was able to convey my deepest thoughts and feelings without saying a single word. Under the guidance of a mentor and the support of my parents, I was able to further develop my skills with private figure drawing lessons and summer courses at FIT. After high school, I went to Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, where I received a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design and Associate's degree in Graphic Design. I then got a job as a freelance graphic designer for Elizabeth Arden focusing on illustration in the Global Education Department. A highlight working for Elizabeth Arden was designing their beauty consultant uniforms. Fashion has always been one my loves just like illustrating. Along the way I also assisted designers such as Sebastian Pons, Asher Levine and Mondo Guerra.
