After graduation from Rochester Institute of Technology with a BFA in New Media Design and an MBA, I figured out the traditional career path wasn’t for me. I jumped right out of school into a program called Remote Year. Spent the first four months as a freelance designer making ends meet to pay the bills and travel the world.
Fast forward, I’ve successful traveled and worked remote for nearly five years. I now combine what I learned from design and business school with more practical knowledge and experience gained starting my club hockey team in college and five years of long-term international travel.
My life is better for taking a chance on the uncommon path. And my mission is to bring that mentality to your project and business.
Fully Remote, Varies Regularly.
