About
I have been in a designer role for almost 15 years helping many di erent types of
companies in various industries tell a visual story.
My style is very versatile because of my career journey and I have essentially developed
a very unique style that stands out in a crowd.
I am focused on creating smart, provocative, and conceptual work for editorial
illustrations, covers, brands and various print and online visual communications.
Through constant exploration of typography, imagery and illustration, my work
transcends style.
I constantly challenge myself and specialize in helping individuals and companies
increase target-market visibility by creating successful artwork.
I am forever pushing the limits and searching out additonal knowledge and skills to use
in my career. I’ve most recently started diving into Motion Graphics and UI/UX Design
and Wireframes. -
