About

As an illustration professional with a background in animation and design, I have had the opportunity to work on several different projects all requiring new ideas and techniques to bring the project to life, while also making the client happy along the way.


The collaboration with client, art director, and team members motivates me to create better and think bigger to achieve good design.


I am experienced in several traditional forms of media, as well as the Adobe Creative Cloud: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere and AfterEffects.
