Born and raised in Central New Jersey. I grew up on Star Wars, Saturday morning cartoons, video games, drawing and making art. I have over 25 years of professional experience as a graphic artist, designer and illustrator. I consider myself highly proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I’ve created concept art, samples, and final art files. I have worked with product managers, buyers and printers. I’ve worked on catalogs, marketing material and collateral. My main focus and passion is illustration, digital painting and creating artwork. I have done several children book covers and posters for school kids. I have designed and laid out countless CD covers, a few of those CDs charted on the Billboard. I illustrated and art directed for the toy company, Uglydoll. I consulted on the UglyDolls movie (2019). Since the end of 2019 I have been freelancing with several companies, creating balloons designs, party patterns, novelty decor, kid’s card games. In my personal time, I create fine art, digital paintings, prints and participating in gallery shows.
