Long before moving into design, I studied dance at The Juilliard School and, for over a decade, performed in numerous dance companies around the Bay Area.

In 2009 I received a BA in Performing Arts from the LEAP Program at St. Mary’s College of California, and later completed The Professional Program in Graphic Design through UC Berkeley Extension.

I am currently pursuing a DMBA in Design Strategy at California College of the Arts, with an expected graduation in May 2026.

I also do a lot of other stuff…
