About
I am a Creative Graphic Designer based in Phoenix, AZ, specializing in illustration, painting, and 3D animation. I work across digital and traditional media and am proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud programs including InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I’ve successfully executed projects involving digital illustrations and 3D character designs, and I’m eager to create compelling visual content.
As an Adjunct Professor at Phoenix College, I help students master tools like Illustrator and Blender, provide constructive feedback, and guide them through hands-on projects. In parallel, I collaborate with Ndm Digital and Ndm Comix on storyboarding, 3D character design, coloring, and page-layout for comics and stickers, while also delivering freelance mural and branding work for clients.
