    I approach my clients’ art direction and design projects with the professionalism of an experienced marketer and the eye of an artist and illustrator.

    I have deep, cross-category experience in marketing — from direct (traditional and digital), advertising and brand identity, to collateral, promotion and event marketing — and pride myself on my ability to deliver quality work on strategy, on time and on budget.

    When illustrating I enjoy creating whimsical, often humorous, images which are ideal for children’s books and in select client projects, could also bring a distinct dimension to creative campaigns.
