About Me

I am a graduate of Swarthmore College and Villanova Law School. After spending many years as a full-time practicing business lawyer, I enrolled as an evening student at The Art Institute of Philadelphia (AIPH) in the multimedia & web design program, and graduated from the AIPH in 2003 with an Associate of Science Degree with Honors, a 4.0 GPA, an Outstanding Achievement Award and several Best of Quarter Awards. I am currently juggling two careers - lawyer and freelance web, graphic & multimedia designer.
