My grandfather was an accomplished, RISD-educated artist who first awakened my love of art. In fact, his enthusiasm and talent inspired three of his seven grandchildren, myself included to become working creatives in various fields. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of time spent drawing with him or watching him create incredible watercolors and caricatures. He was, and is, my greatest inspiration. And like any growing artist, my creative interests continued to evolve throughout the years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in architecture and became fascinated by space, dimension, and aesthetics. In that serendipitous post-undergraduate way, my degree led me to the Boston architectural scene, though not as an architect—as a marketing professional.
