I am an artist at heart. I have been drawing and creating for as long as I can remember. I began my career as a freelance graphic designer after college, then got a job as a graphic artist for the Florida Times-Union. From there, I moved on to become a senior graphic designer at the South Florida Sun Sentinel and was eventually promoted to the assistant graphics director. Throughout my visual journalism career, I won numerous awards for my graphic design and interactive graphics work for the Sun Sentinel and the Florida Times Union.I co-founded the KarBel Multimedia creative agency in the 2008. I left the South Florida Sun Sentinel in 2011 to focus on KarBel full time. At KarBel, I have developed projects and visual solutions for clients such as WABE.org, T-Brand Studio / New York Times, Stand Up To Cancer, The Environmental Defense Fund, and Google.I have always felt a duty to give back and share my expertise. I have taught and developed graphic design, infographic design and interactive workshops for high school students, college students, and professional journalists across the country.
