Available to hire
I’m an artist who specializes in illustration, brand design, and print production, from Richmond, Virginia. I hold a BFA in Illustration for Entertainment from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and my work spans brand identity, print-ready production, and hands-on physical fabrication.
What sets me apart is range: I don’t just design on the page, I understand how that design has to perform once it becomes something real, whether that’s a printed card mailed to hundreds of clients, an installation applied across an irregular physical space, or a large-scale fabricated object built from scratch. I’m comfortable working within a client’s existing brand guidelines and creative direction, iterating quickly based on feedback, and delivering polished, technically accurate files ready for production. I’ve worked across sectors including construction, healthcare, nonprofit, and entertainment, giving me a practical understanding of how different industries expect their design work to look, function, and get delivered.
