Overview
My experience ranges from art direction, illustration, book and graphic design, paper engineering, party-ware, gift accessory and home-goods design, as well as package design, brochures and branding. I work well independently or as a team member to achieve optimum business results. Lately, I've been working in fine goods and seasonal decor as well as illustrating for children's books.
