I'm a freelance artist with over 15 years of experience creating digital illustration in styles from realistic to cartoon, and I specialize in 2D animation (frame-by-frame and keyframe). I deliver high-quality visuals for remote clients under tight deadlines, handling everything from concept to final delivery. I blend creative design with technical skills in the Adobe Creative Suite and WordPress, and I manage projects end-to-end—production schedules, color accuracy, client communication, and billing—so clients get polished results on time.
