Available to hire
I’m a creative and detail-oriented senior designer and illustrator with 30+ years of experience delivering impactful visual solutions for consumer products, costumes, seasonal décor, novelty items, and packaging.
I’m skilled at transforming concepts into original artwork from concept through production, with a strong focus on visual communication, branding, and product development. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams and vendors to bring creative visions to life and I don’t rely on stock imagery or templates.
