I am a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, with a BFA in Production Design, with a minor in Themed Entertainment Design, a Certificate in Hospitality and Tourism Management from Florida Atlantic University, and a Certificate in Post-Crisis Leadership from the University of South Florida.

Currently, I am the Sr. Art Director at ocV!BE Sports and Entertainment, which is the largest smart city development initiative in the United States at over 90 acres includes an entertainment, dining, shopping, and residential district in the Anaheim area.

I was the Lead Art Director for Meow Wolf’s largest exhibit in Denver, CO, Convergence Station. I oversaw the project’s design from concept through opening working on early designs to installation in the field. I worked alongside over 200 incredibly talented artists to bring to life one of the most immersive experiences ever built.

I was the sole designer maintaining the creative assets for Universal Hollywood's Creative Show Quality department within Universal Creative. I was responsible for creative and art directing of new scenic and creative designs throughout the park, on projects like Jurassic World - The Ride and Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle Nighttime Spectacular. While developing new designs and overseeing the additions to the park, I developed a comprehensive documentation package that will be used to maintain attractions, shows, and other scenic designs throughout the park. Previously, while at Universal Creative I was an Attraction Designer, working on concepts for Universal Orlando's Volcano Bay Water Park at Universal Studios Florida, a THEA Award-Winning project for Outstanding New Water Park.

I worked as a Lead Designer at Thinkwell Group working on numerous projects such as Lionsgate Entertainment World, The NFL Experience - Times Square, U.S. Marshal Museum, REEM Snow Park, Christmas in the Wizarding World, The Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour London- Gringotts Expansion and various unannounced upcoming projects. I also served as Creative Director and Art Director on HotGo Parks Happy Jungle World redesign project in Fushun, China. I worked out of the Thinkwell Beijing office where I led a team in the reimagining of an existing theme park resort. Before those positions, I was a Show Set Designer, where through the aid of CAD drawings and 3D models, I produced design intent packages for clients on various projects. 

I worked as a Show Designer with Rethink Leisure and Entertainment, where I was responsible for 3D Modeling, Attraction Design, and IP/Brand Coordination with clients. Most notably, I was a Lead Show Designer on three of the immersive lands for Fox World Dubai
