I am an Illustrator, Visual Storyteller and Graphic Designer with an unfettered imagination and an eye for detail. I use digital art software to create professional business assets, as well as comics and illustrations that are whimsical, yet reflective. Having worked with special needs children, it has encouraged me to look at problems from a different perspective and develop creative solutions.
