Like many, I was born and wandered aimlessly (doing typical things that aimless wanderers do) until sometime in my late teens when, while shopping at a mall, I was scouted to be an actor. Since this magical event occurred before email or cell phones, I had to trust the post office to deliver a script. When the script didn’t arrive, it became clear that I needed to pursue a different career path.
A few years later, I took on a part-time job at a real estate office while earning my bachelor’s degree. It was there I discovered I had a talent for designing things…specifically printed things. What’s even better is that people started hiring me to design these things, launching my freelance career. Since then, I’ve established myself as the go-to person for non-profits, small businesses, startups, and individuals seeking unique design concepts.
I have a Master’s Degree, though I’ve mostly developed my design skills through self-teaching, years of practice and a strange need to “just make things look better”. This has motivated me to take part in design competitions and develop my own set of productivity tools.
I’ve always enjoyed writing as a hobby, but a couple of years ago I made the decision to take it to the next level and write a series. In taking on this ambitious endeavor, I created a pen name for myself, established an author website where I offered writing advice and downloadable tools, developed a social media strategy for my writing persona and networked at writing conferences. (More to come on this in the future).
You never know where life will lead you, and in my case, it led me to a small museum in Long Island, NY two years ago. In the beginning, my role was focused on creating marketing materials to attract back the members they lost during covid, but it quickly transformed into something greater. I have designed over two-hundred materials, curated the museum’s first LGBT exhibit, sit on the town’s Pride organizational committee, and currently serve as the museum's Deputy Director.
