With a background steeped in science and sociology, I never imagined a life as an artist. But when I heard legendary self-made graphic designer David Carson speak, my world changed. I left my non-profit job to follow in his footsteps, immersing myself in everything I needed to know about programming and graphic design. My status as a “math and science geek” came in handy with design’s technical aspects; I spent long hours becoming an expert at the Adobe Creative Suite. Once I built a solid technical foundation, I drew on my inherent talent for handcrafted art, thoughtful color palettes, and innovative illustrations. Previous to Mazzarello Media & Arts, I worked for a Grammy award-winning band, designing promotional merchandise, email campaigns, websites, and online marketing materials.

My way of seeing the world directly translates into my success as an art director; I work closely with clients to understand and execute their vision, while also gently encouraging them to consider breaking beyond the bounds of fixed concepts to explore the wider range of possibilities. I serve on the Vestry of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church in Glendale and I am an active member at Società Garibaldina di Mutua Beneficienza in Los Angeles. I am passionate about Italian food.
