I am a professional artist and illustrator with extensive experience helping companies and entrepreneurs conceptualize their intellectual properties and brands. My specialty is in designing characters and telling stories visually. My art is in many industries, including television, advertising, games, comics, graphic novels, children’s books, educational tools, licensed and novelty apparel, and more.

Since I was knee high, I have been drawing and haven’t stopped since. My best friends were funny talking animals, masked crime fighting superheroes and giant rubber monsters demolishing cardboard cities. In my imagination, I traveled to distant lands and explored strange new worlds.

Creativity is contagious and it is worth catching. What I enjoy doing the most is making art with others that entertain, educate and instill creativity, as well as help visually convey the important message the writer needs to tell. My talent along with my sense of fun, wit, and humor stand out most of all when I am developing my graphics.
