About

Beginning with an education in Fine Arts, I've been a professional graphic designer and illustrator since 2006. I'm very detail-oriented, passionate, and love doing work that will challenge me to grow and reach my full potential.

On a more personal level, I love mid-century modern design, printmaking, motorcycles, and muscle cars. I also LOVE to bake.
