About
I’ve worked as a freelance artist for over a decade. Working with private clientele and companies to create children’s books, logos, 2D animation, photo edits, package designs and more. My style is versatile, and I love to convey emotion and humor through my art.
I have extensive experience with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, Paint Tool Sai, Vegas Pro14, WordPress, Microsoft Office.
Some experience with Adobe Premiere and InDesign, Audacity, Blender, and Maya.
Outside of my certification through AnimationMentor.com, I'm mostly self taught. I am always on the look out for opportunities to build on my skills and expand my knowledge of different art techniques/styles and the programs used in creating the art. -
