My 9 years of experience has encompassed all aspects of design & illustration, from rock art to children's books, corporate logos and collateral to print ads. Although I've worked with the suits as well as the creatives, I can't say I've done it all... that's where YOU come in. I am always seeking new opportunities to express a message through unique and impacting design. My strong communication skills coupled with my aesthetic insight will elevate your project to the next level.
Currently available for freelance or contract work, but always interested in full-time permanent work in the Bay Area.
