My path into design has been shaped by packaging and print, disciplines that reward patience, precision, and an eye for how a piece will perform once it leaves the screen. I joined D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America's Oldest Brewery, as a Graphic Designer in 2019 and grew into the role of Art Director in 2024, where I now lead packaging systems, co-branded campaigns, and retail marketing from concept through production. Along the way, I've learned to balance creative ambition with the realities of dielines and press checks, and to keep a brand's voice consistent whether it's on a can, a gift shop shelf, or a social feed.

I've also built brand identities from the ground up for freelance clients, from custom illustration to full visual systems, and I bring that same care to digital work: marketing emails, social graphics, and web banners that keep a brand cohesive across every touchpoint. That range traces back to my degree in Graphic Design from Pennsylvania College of Technology, where I first learned to move between disciplines without losing consistency.

Outside of work, I show up for one tradition without fail: the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, every fall, with the same group of friends, six years running. We hit the same vendors, stay the whole day, and yes, sometimes there's a costume involved. It's a small thing, but it's a good reminder that I like showing up, doing things well, and doing them with people I trust.
