With a degree in Illustration from SCAD and over two decades of hands-on experience collaborating with clients like Hasbro, Chik-Fil-A, the University of Alabama, and Toyo Tires, I bring a unique blend of artistic versatility, storytelling instincts, and production-ready design skills to the table. My work has been featured on Shark Tank (via Sealed by Santa), and I continue to build lasting creative partnerships with brands like Treboles & Key Vodka and Going Interactive. Whether crafting brand identities, comic book narratives, educational visuals, or web-ready assets, I specialize in delivering high-impact visuals that resonate. I’m especially passionate about manga and sequential art, but I adapt fluidly to any style your project demands. As an autistic professional, I bring strong attention to detail, team loyalty, persistence, creative thinking, honesty, a strong memory, independent thinking, and a deep commitment to producing high-quality work.
