Designer and Illustrator

Information

Simply put, I believe in design as a tool to help people communicate, learn, and understand. I hope to use the skills I have to give back to a world that has given a lot to me.

Clients have told me that I’m good with visualizing big concepts in simple ways.  As a team player,  I adhere to three different, but all important Cs: Creativity, Curiosity, Communication. I think it’s important to gather ideas, listen to different and diverse voices, and communicate to make sure that I and the people that I work with are always the same page.

When I’m not creating work for others, I’m creating for myself! I believe in making art that speaks at the human and emotional level, and I am mostly doing that over at Pencil and Post. This is a platform where I draw about human emotion such as the universal feelings we might have during uncertain times or how we might approach an unknown future.  Sometimes, it’s just a place where I geek out about furniture catalogs or weird snack flavors. It varies!
