Available to hire
I’m a generalist illustrator and collateral designer with 10 years of experience helping clients bring their creative visions to life. I’m a color freak who loves vibrant illustrations, and I pair that with a strategic design approach to deliver standout work.
I combine hands-on illustration with project planning and collaboration to bring campaigns to life across labels, textbooks, magazines, websites, apps, packaging, and more. I’m excited to contribute my mix of creativity and process to your team.
