I came up drawing, not in a classroom, but because I couldn't stop. Formal animation training taught me the principles, nine years at Trader Joe’s taught me discipline, and a decade of commercial work taught me how to recognize when something is working and when it isn’t. I don’t just make things look good. I build visuals that solve problems, communicate clearly, and do a job. Every layout decision has intent behind it, and I can explain why it’s there. Why choose me? I design to sell: if it doesn’t convert, it’s just decoration. Animation training taught me how to make things feel alive; I apply that to design. From sketch to press-ready files, or clean handoffs others can actually use.
