I graduated from MATC in Graphic Design/ Illustration in Dec. '07. I have been freelancing for a number of years. Last year completed illustrating a children's book "Summertime - The Adventures of Juice" with writer Scott Smith. I also have done comics, logos, tee designs, illustrations for print and posters. Overall I consider my work to be a wide scope of design and illustration with more emphasis on illustration.
