I am an experienced Digital Artist / Graphic Designer from Chicago, currently living in Amsterdam and able to work here or remotely. I ran my own graphic design studio for many years, producing a wide range of work: corporate and non-profit event collateral, music event collateral, large-scale textbooks and publications, as well as brochures, logos and book cover design. My current digital illustration work is unique in style, with a narrative that can be abstract and futuristic while remaining relatable. Recently I have been creating and producing album covers and flyers for the music industry, as I have been concentrating on my digital illustration and photo comping skills. I still love typesetting and am able to produce clean, well-thought out layouts as well as digital illustration.
