My creative mind stems back to studying the Suzuki Piano Method at age 6, which is essentially a learning method of listening, memorizing and mimicking. The result is a well-developed, acute ear for music and sound. However, this learning method gifted me with additional skills, such as understanding & adapting to new processes, how to efficiently access memory information, and maintaining task accuracy, to name a few. All of which have proven useful along the journey of life. I went on to study music for many years and received a Bachelor of Science in Music Industry from Northeastern University.
In college, I developed a strong interest in graphic design and digital creativity. After graduating, I decided to go back to school and received a Master's Certificate in Visual Communications from Clark University. Upon graduation, I moved out west to tackle the Bay Area tech industry and live in beautiful San Francisco.
Fast-forward years later and here I am, still living the best coast dream. I've gained experience working for IBM, Visa, Yahoo!, IGN Entertainment, Academy of Art University, Oracle, Splunk, and Exabeam.
