A career in Graphic Design finally came to me after realizing that the best part of my day at an Accounting internship was formatting a Word document “to look pretty.” I enjoy dance, Ukrainian culture, cheap wine, and rooting for Cleveland sports teams. I mentor students as Ohio alumna through their Bobcat Network program in my spare time. My passion is to give back to the community that raised me by assisting past organizations I was involved in with their digital marketing efforts.

Currently, I’m contributing as the Senior Art Director at Bridgenext, formerly DEFINITION 6, in Midtown NYC. Previously, I was an Art Director at a digital marketing agency where I earned numerous achievements, including multiple years of NJ Ad Club recognition, GDUSA awards for American Inhouse Design, American Web Design, and American Graphic Design, and was a 2018 inductee to “Jersey’s Best Marketing & Communications Professionals under 40.” Most recently, I was a recipient of Delta Zeta National Sorority, ’35 Under 35.’ This award highlights outstanding young professionals who have achieved success by making a significant impact in their industry before the age of 35. Candidates for this national recognition are women who have demonstrated leadership, initiative, and dedication to their careers, are motivated by challenges, serve as volunteers in their communities, and are role models for their peers.
