FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
As a child I loved to draw, and I always intended to study Graphic Design at university. When the time came I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to get a degree in Art History and Italian. I have no regrets about this decision: it allowed me to learn Italian and live in Italy for over four years. There I worked as an English teacher, Art History lecturer, writer, tour guide and deejay. I moved to New York after being accepted for an internship at MoMA. When that ended I was hired to work for a company running a restaurant and wine store. What began as a marketing job quickly morphed into a graphic designer position. By the time I left I was more of a creative director. So I ended up where I probably would have been anyway I just took a more scenic route.
