With over 25 years of experience in broadcast television, marketing and social media design, I am proud to offer a comprehensive skill set focused on creating visuals that generate engagement. After graduating from Marist University’s School of Communication and the Arts in 2000 I began my career as a video editor and sound mixer for WRNN Television in New York, NY. During my seven year tenure at RNN I was promoted to Senior Video Editor and helmed the transition from analogue to digital editing. I was tasked with familiarizing myself and all incoming ENGs and MMJs with the non-linear editing software of the time. Editing digitally led to my interest in graphic design and with the gracious guidance of the WRNN graphics department I was soon incorporating my own graphic design work into my editing output.
In 2007 I transitioned to graphic design full-time. I served as a fill-in Graphic Designer for ESPN’s Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith before being hired to be a Junior Graphic Designer for The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. I was quickly promoted to Graphic Designer and remained with The Colbert Report for 8 more years until its final episode. After a brief hiatus in which I served as a Graphics Consultant for Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and a month-long project with The Game Show Network, I, along with most of The Colbert Report family, began work on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I remained with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for 11 years until its final episode in 2026.
Over the course of my 18 year career with The Colbert Report and The Late Show I continued taking on an ever increasing workload and always tightening deadlines. In addition to the challenge of producing graphics and visual effects for the show, I also worked on extra-curricular media projects associated with Stephen Colbert, including books published by Simon & Schuster and Grand Central Publishing, marketing and promotional campaigns, special event centric merchandise and social media content. I worked on additional specials for Comedy Central and Showtime as well as the undefinable Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear hosted by Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart on October 30, 2010 at the National Mall in Washington D.C.
I faced the challenge of doing live shows after important political events including election nights and the Presidential State of the Union Address as well as shows recorded in remote locations including but not limited to The 2008 DNC in Philadelphia, PA, a week of shows from the U.S. military “Green Zone” in Baghdad, Iraq in 2009 and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
When the global COVID-19 pandemic shut down our show in a single afternoon I along with my colleagues frantically started packing computers, equipment and cords into our bags and began the process of learning to work from home. Without missing a single broadcast (Stephen hosted the first "Quarantine Episode” from his bathroom) we quickly adapted to our new work-from-home process. During these episodes the show became particularly dependent on graphical elements to mask the show’s less spectacular settings and maintain a professional appearance. Once the pandemic had subsided and the return to work call went out our department remained largely remote. Our output efficiency actually improved with commute times eliminated and most show days only one member of the team would be required to be in the office. This experience heightened my ability to complete assignments independently and strengthened my ability to communicate efficiently and effectively with producers, executives and co-collaborators, even when face-to-face meetings were not possible.
Over the course of The Colbert Report and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, I won three Peabody Awards as well as commendations from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for my work on five Emmy Award winning productions.
