I always took to drawing and music since I was very young which lead me to pursue my undergraduate degree at The School of Visual Arts
in New York City.
I took a keen interest in understanding the printing process and involved myself in the preparation of files for print right out of college.
I have worked with a number of different RIPS and gained an understanding of trapping and the color proofing process along the way.
Later in my prepress career, I delved into retouching, working on covers and interior page images for New York Magazine, Forbes,
Food Network, HGTV, Prevention, Star, and Men's Fitness to name a few. I also gained experience with retouching book projects
and e-commerce imagery.
