Where and what are you working on right now?

I’m currently an Art Director at Apple, working on the Books app. I’m also continuing to work on my collage-work be it commissioned illustrations or book covers, exhibition-work, or various personal projects.

SVA helped open up the pathways to my career, especially the connetions I’ve made with my teachers and my peers. My thesis project in particular laid the foundation for the kind of career I wanted to build and helped introduce the process that would shape it. Those thesis decks we labored over are especially handy now, when it comes to convincing clients or teams of the ideas I’m presenting.

But mostly the bonds you make with other classmates and alumni, past, present, or future has an everlasting impact. My support system has always come from the friends I’ve made along the way. And I’m grateful for that.

The community this program fosters is something unique and special.
