A lifelong creative, I discovered a passion for experiential design over a decade ago and have not looked back, consistently creating award-winning designs and working behind the scenes to help others in the industry. As a Creative Director, I cultivate the same excellence in my design team, treating experiential space as an art medium that utilizes colors, shapes, lighting, and graphics to encompass viewers at an event.One of the first to graduate with an MA in Exhibition Design from the EDPA supported program at FIT, I now give back with regular speaking engagements to design students from various universities and have mentored numerous students. I also teach the course Design Development: Domestic and International as part of the new EDPA+FIT Design Certificate Program.My passion for education and connecting people led me to a leadership role in the non-profit group "Women In Exhibitions" since 2014.Specialties: Creative Leadership, Exhibit Design, Fixture Design, 3-d renderings, Cross-cultural Color Studies
