A little about me

I’m a creative problem solver by nature. I enjoy bridging research, analytical thinking, and organized processes with beauty, inspiration, and balance. As a visual communicator, that’s possible through so many different means—branding, print, web design, as well as fine art, illustration, and home decor. What is most important in the final form is that I’ve committed to my craft, explored something that myself—or my clients—are passionate about, and created the desired feeling as an end result.

I devote my creative time equally among illustration, hand-lettering, watercolor painting, graphic design, and web development. I have over 15 years of combined print design, web development, and fine art experience.

Creative philosophy

We all collect experience and memories, which in turn informs our subject matter, style, and process. My work is heavily influenced by my memories—more specifically objects or simple pleasures that I’ve attached memories to. I tend to focus on memories that hold beauty or positive emotional value and explore those through my work. I like to create work that is multifaceted in both form and purpose. Essentially, it can be used to enhance a brand or a physical space. I like to see past my own perceived limitations and create new ways for my work to live. Finally, accepting momentary failure is an essential part of being a successful creative. Tenacity is necessary in order to stay connected to your end goal—both on a smaller project scale and in life.
