Biography: Originally grown in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I moved to cultural Kent Ohio for school. After four years of strict undergraduate work I continued at Kent for two more years to exhaust the post graduate course catalog. After two brief stints of living in New York, it was then that I got my interests in higher levels of typography and EGD [environmental graphic design]. After Cleveland AIGA gave me an award for my proposal of the Art and Design Building placemaking and wayfinding program, I began consulting for various other environmental projects while working as a creative for AUE Design, a top Cleveland ad agency. Disillusioned by the Midwest agency business model I decided to move back to New York. Since then I have established myself as freelance contributor of EGD and traditional print design.
Corny Personal Information: I am really fun to have around an office. In the past, people on my team appreciate my “go-getter” excitement and interests in just about everything. Warning: I do get really excited about interviews and tend to scare people with my initial enthusiasm. So far, however, it seems to grow on people. Personal Interests include: Independent music scene, NPR, color theory, illustration, crazy dancing, interior design, beer, Melville, and classic film.
