About me

I'm a graphic artist and illustrator for innovators and change-makers. I've been doing art my whole life and using computers since I was 9 - I love the blend of art and technology. I have a particular talent for illustration, clean layouts, and bold designs.

I make pictures of other people's ideas. My deep listening skills and vivid imagination enable me to ask questions and fully realize what my clients are trying to achieve. I derive a great deal of satisfaction from bringing ideas to life.

I do graphic design for a purpose. A good design can tell a story, or convey a message that can't be done with words. I ensure that my designs align with the intent and purpose of my client to help them connect with their community or audience, and convey a concept that is highly accessible. I believe that in a technology-driven world, graphic design is more important than ever, and is an integral part of creating a powerful brand message. I'm adept at grasping new ideas and translating them into images that can be grasped by the target market. But I know that graphics alone can't carry the message, so I love working with a team to help develop my work as part of an overall strategic communication. The words and the pictures need to work together as a cohesive narrative. My degree in philosophy gives me a unique point of view in communicating concepts and making a strong visceral connection. I've worked at a variety of retail companies and professional organizations, both in the private sector and non-profits, which allows me to leverage a range of perspectives. While my work is detailed, I still see the big picture and how it all fits together. For me, the work itself is fun, even when it is for a serious purpose.
