Glendale, CA
I am equal parts artist and consumer. The concept of designing products that others desire, thrills me. Color, shape, texture and scale are my tools of choice, and with them I confidently experiment with successful results. With experience earned and an excitement for my career; I offer myself as a highly sought after, team member, leader and artist. I will gladly present my portfolio upon request.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
