About
I come from an artistic family and have been an active artist since I could grab a pencil. I spent many years painting murals and window ads before I was picked up by Ethan Wade Graphics. It was there were I started my real artistic journey. I was mentored by the Art Director, and learned a lot from this amazing man. After being in design for apparel and large format printing, I was maxing out on pay and not making a great living. I decided to go back to school at 41 and get my BAS in Animation and Visual Effects. I am now mentored my a couple gentlemen from Pixar and do some work for them on their side companies.
I am a fast learner and true team player. Brainstorming is one of my favorite things, especially when I get to do it with a room full of talented designers. I live to create. -
