A School of Visual Arts NYC grad, leader, and problem-solver who's always experimenting and challenging oneself to leap forward. We donโt believe in stagnation.
More recently, I ran an award-winning bar program at a one-star Michelin restaurant. Under my leadership we made Top 10 Best US Restaurant Bar at Tales of the Cocktail for two consecutive years. Indivudiaully, I received recognition from Vinepair as a finalist for Bartender of the Year, and won local competitions and appeared in 11+ live media appearances, while earning featured articles in Chilled Magazine, The Tasting Panel, Eater, Vinepair, and Cultural Daily.
My background is in design, brand identity, creative content, and marketing strategy for food & drink, beauty, entertainment, events, and beyond. My work has been featured on platforms such as Graphis Magazine, Eggs Concept, Hom Sweet Hom, Cup of TJ, The Cheese Board, Reddit, and SpaceX.
