ILLUSTRATION GALLERY:
I graduated from the Northwest College of Art & Design in 2005 with a BFA in Visual Communication and a double-major. For the last 16 years, I have freelanced as an illustrator, with a special focus on graphic novels and game art. I have a strong preference for fantasy and sci-fi themes and I love to experiment with new styles and influences. I like to think of myself as being highly “customer-service” oriented in my freelance practice–most of my clients are repeat customers due to my communication skills and dedication to embracing critiques to deliver superior results. I don’t post my prices online, but I’m accustomed to working with solo-creators and indie publishers, so if you have a project in mind that you think I’d be a good fit for, please reach out at the email below.

GRAPHIC DESIGN GALLERY:
For the past 10 years I have worked as a graphic designer doing pre-press for a screen-printing and embroidery company in the greater Seattle Metro area. I also freelance as a graphic designer, and have done logos and ads for small businesses ranging from realtors to night clubs and everything in between.

Custom t-shirt designs I worked for several years at a small print studio that created custom posters and t-shirts; these are a sample of over 5,000 original artworks I created during my time there. Most of them were supposed to be funny novelty items.

I designed this brochure for my table at conventions; it’s been important to me to have a consistent “brand” for my work, so you can see thematically familiar elements across most of my logos and printed materials.
