My career experiences as an interactive professional spans from working as a creative director and interactive product designer in a social media start-up; owning a 3D boutique design shop with enterprise and entertainment industry clients; freelancing; and as a sr. art director in an interactive agency working on fortune accounts.

During my studies at RIT I designed consumer products for known brands at a local firm, and completed a BFA in Industrial Design, a minor in Illustration & Psychology. Since, I had the fortune to work on both coasts, NY and LA, Hong Kong and Rome. With an interest in international issues, I took to grad studies receiving an interdisciplinary MA from Fordham with a focus in Sociology and Political Economy.

I have always had a strong desire to create new products and to develop them with like-minded individuals. After leaving the NYC adverting scene to take time to travel and for grad school, I freelanced part time as a design service to maintain an income. Subsequently it grew into a design company, the V3 Group a 3D content provider. Out of that experience in the interactive virtual world, I created recently beeing for its investors, which is an interactive product oriented company.

PROFESSIONAL TIMELINE


Trained in human factors with an education in the humanities, I focus on considering the human psychological and social experience to develop interactive products that are both technically efficient as well as artistically effective, for the human person while considering the investment vs. value to the client. Instilled in every project is the understanding that corporate brand and consistency of media are key, which requires attention to detail and a willingness to reform personal creative energy toward the corporate agenda, while at the same time being careful not to override the needs of the consumer.
