I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2007 with a BFA in Sculpture. After getting through school with 2 jobs (luckily at a sub shop and an art store so I could feed my stomach and my addiction for creating), I started working at a local costume shop creating mascots for clients big and small. There I was able to hone my skills in several disciplines such as patterning, prop making, and foam fabrication, which I still use in freelance and creative endeavors.
