My Story

I studied at the Columbus College of Art & Design (CCAD), where I built a strong foundation in visual storytelling, composition, and craftsmanship. While I didn’t end up pursuing art as my full-time profession, that experience has stayed with me and continues to shape how I see the world.

Even though my career took a different path, I’ve always carried that artist’s perspective with me. I pay attention to detail, appreciate creativity in all forms, and find value in expression—whether it’s in art or everyday life. The skills and mindset I developed at CCAD still influence how I approach challenges, connect with people, and interpret experiences.

Art was never something I left behind—it’s just become a quieter, but meaningful, part of who I am.
