Based in the Los Angeles area, I’m a well-rounded professional who has worked on iconic brands and demonstrates an impactful, thoughtful style. In addition to graphic design and illustration, my experience includes marketing collateral, communications and copywriting, brand-building and social media development. A courteous and adaptable self-starter, I am deadline-driven with a mind for innovation and an eye for detail.
I’ve enjoyed working with a great many talented people while developing long-term connections, and I’m open to working in familiar categories as well as applying my strengths to new opportunities.
It is truly satisfying to bring a concept to life, providing effective artwork and a design finesse that performs for a client's budget and fulfills their vision.
