Hello, and welcome to my portfolio! 

My digital skills stem from a foundation built through undergraduate studies in Integrated Digital Media at New York University Tandon School of Engineering, where I focused on various areas such as 3D modeling/animation, videography, design, photography, and video game development. While studying, I was also a video intern with Marvel Entertainment for a semester which further developed my video and motion graphics ability.

After graduating, my professional career continued with the Integrated Digital Media program (the name has since changed to Integrated Design and Media), seeing the program through a time of great growth (over a 400% increase in activity) and a complex institutional merger. This experience revealed a new passion of mine for management and operations as I discovered that I enjoy building efficient systems as much as I enjoy building animations.

To help solidify this intersection of creativity and strategy, I earned a Master’s in Technology Management and a Graduate Certificate in Project Management from NYU Tandon. Professionally, I seek to use my management and leadership skills to enhance efficiency and effectiveness while incorporating my creative mindset to solve complex problems. In particular, I specialize in modernizing legacy workflows to enhance institutional effectiveness. For example, I recently designed an AI-powered knowledge architecture, authoring 50+ pages of source material to build a custom AI assistant via NotebookLM. This project had a huge impact, empowering our staff’s self-sufficiency and reducing internal inquiries by 80%. Additionally, to support our rapid expansion, I overhauled our legacy registration infrastructure, replacing manual procedures with a highly scalable, hybrid-automated model. Paired with a centralized guidelines dashboard I created for students, this successfully reduced enrollment-related inquiries by 75-80%.

Beyond the office, I continue to fuel my creative drive through photography, design work for the Westchester Coalition of Italian American Organizations, and fun animation projects with my favorite rig, Tonga (from Mike Rhone - http://mikerhone.com/). Expanding outward from the digital world and software, I also enjoy teaching myself new fabrication skills, recently adding blacksmithing and metal casting to my arsenal. Regardless of the medium, I am happiest when I am creating or solving complex problems.

I hope you enjoy the works displayed here - please feel free to reach out, I’d love to connect!
