I’m a seasoned illustrator and graphic designer with 7 years professional experience translating client ideas and making them a reality! From colored pencil and pastel to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I enjoy creating work that is as enjoyable as it is effective.

Areas of Expertise
Illustration
I use a variety of both digital and traditional media to create one-of-a-kind illustrations and am always exploring new concepts and methods to try! I tend towards an illustrative style instead of realistic, and use pastel, colored pencil, and Photoshop the most. Visit my Portfolio to check out examples!
Graphic Design
Information should be clear, attractive, and branded! Using the Adobe Creative Suite, I design marketing collateral for both digital and print purposes per specifications. Logos, branding, brochures, banners, enamel pins, embroidered patches, and more – if you can dream it, I've probably designed one!
Social Media
I develop branded, curated content keeping accounts fresh and relevant. From one-off posts to themed campaigns, I have experience in all steps of the process: research, design, copywriting, scheduling, and more.
