Education

The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. A number of my peers attended AIP, CMU, and other local schools. I’ve enjoyed seeing how each of us has honed our craft over the years.

Country of origin and what drew me to Pittsburgh:

I’m from a small town Level Green, about 30 min. from town. Pittsburgh has a creative energy and quirkiness that’s real and comfortable.
