I fell into advertising the same way I fell into varsity fencing – with joy and completely on accident. They're similar – you have to adapt to what's in front of you and think on your feet.

In my spare time, I like to decorate virtual spaces (it's my favorite thing to do in most sandbox and MMO games) and make things (my list of crafts and DIY projects goes on and on). When I'm feeling patient, I teach my cat new tricks (he knows how to sit and shake but doesn't feel so great about lying down). Once in a blue moon, I stream on Twitch.

I’m currently a Senior Art Director at Pereira O’Dell.
