About

I am a graphic designer in the Portland area that enjoys an array of digital, print and 3D design. My strengths are in illustration and branding, though I am always up for trying something new and often experiment in different forms of media. In this portfolio you'll see a sampling of my designs in addition to a section focused on my illustration work.
