I am a focused and passionate illustrator and graphic designer with extensive experience in storytelling, marketing, and communication industries. I am currently available for freelance, part time, and full time opportunities in entertainment, advertising, branding, book covers, games, and editorial. I am the illustrator of the 44-card oracle, Cosmic Dancer Oracle, published and internationally distributed through Blue Angel and Llewellyn Publishing, and wherever fine books are sold. I also have a passion for design and the intersection of communication and clarity through visual mediums. With over 10 years of experience in agency and tech, with clients from Google to Disney, I bring passionate professionalism, focus, and ingenuity to my work and clients. I have been a professional illustrator and graphic designer since 2009, with a BFA from San Francisco State and studies at the California College of the Arts as well as Miami Ad School, and years of self-taught disciplines. I currently live in Portland, Oregon, but I was raised in a cabin under the redwood trees of Santa Cruz, California. While growing up, my greatest company was often my imagination as I would spend my days creating stories and worlds in the woods, in the garden, along the creek bed, on the beach, and in the ocean. My mother provided me with ample books on myths, fairytales, folklore, and fantasy of which I am still inspired by to this day. I feel like these stories illustrate complex ideas and universal truths in simplified packages, so that they are accessible to all--these stories connect us and ask questions that are the most basic to expansive beyond this world. I strive to create images that evoke awe, wonder, and emotion that acknowledge the viewer and their own thoughts and stories, while introducing new ways of experiencing ideas the world around us.
