I’m ready to create custom exciting graphics and illustrations for you!
I excel at graphic design and love to create original illustrations. With 10 years of experience as a graphic designer and over 4 years of experience in print production I’m qualified to handle your next project.
I began my education at Waubonsee Community College and completed my degree at Northern Illinois University where I graduated with a BFA in Visual Communication.
In addition to being well versed with design programs, creating digital illustrations, painting in a variety of mediums, photography, and drawing. I am constantly working on projects professionally as well as for fun. I pride myself on being able to communicate effectively and collaborate with others to create exciting visuals and lasting relationships. Working retail while going to school helped build up my customer service skills.
Having years of experience in print production has taught me how to design projects that are print ready. This provides me the competitive advantage of saving the client time and money. I am able to see a project through from initial concept to final production.
I am fortunate that I live and work in an area where I can create for both for-profit and non-profit businesses and organizations. I am extremely passionate about the arts, I am an avid reader, enjoy writing in my spare time, and collect fantasy illustration.
