Available to hire
I am a freelance digital artist with two decades of agency-level experience and formal training in art direction, photo retouching, and production design. I thrive on jumping into new projects, collaborating with studios, and delivering polished results across photo, print, and digital campaigns. I’ve built a versatile portfolio across photo retouching, packaging design and production art, with a strong focus on quality and client satisfaction.
Based just west of Chicago’s Loop, I maintain a powerful home office and stay up to date with the latest tools to deliver high-resolution retouching, illustration, and motion graphics that clients love.
