I've done professional graphic design, illustration, comic art and production design for over a decade. I'm especially skilled at designing for print, and I love taking on unique projects that use hands-on design solutions. I've served as a co-organizer for Phoenix Zine Fest since 2021, and I'm very interested in more arts organizing opportunities, as well as creative directing and designing for events. I'm passionate about DIY publishing and believe that art and publishing are for everyone. I enjoy the challenge of taking a client's vision and figuring out how to make it exist - from conception to production. I feel that design and art are important forms of connection. I use them as channels to express humor and humanity as often as possible. I am currently prioritizing magazine layout design, editorial illustration work and comic art.
