How did you choose your profession and why?
Back in the golden age of the internet, I discovered my love for design by creating AIM icons and MySpace layouts for my friends. Who knew these would be my first clients? Once I realized I could turn my hobby into a career, my heart was sold.
How has your own college education directly translated to success at Spark451 and why?
My college experience was unique—I worked various campus jobs almost as often as I went to class. From this dual perspective, I learned the needs of both the students and administration, and I am now able to design in such a way that communicates effectively to each of these audiences.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
I was born and raised in the Bronx. Moving to the suburbs has not been kind to my allergies.
Beach vacation or city vacation and why?
City vacation. I don’t know how to sit still and relax.
