Currently, I am a freelance designer and developer and am consulting for Wunderman & Thompson Advertising in Washington, D.C. I am also a graduate student at Quinnipiac University pursuing my masters in Interactive Media and Communications. Below you will find some of my latest work, case studies from recent professional and freelance projects, and writing related to my graduate studies. Please reach out on linkedin if you would like to stay in touch, explore opportunities or plan your next project. I look forward to hearing from you.
