Overview
I am a professional illustrator and comic artist living in the Los Angeles area, with experience illustrating covers and interior illustrations for fantasy works in particular. I love to create whimsical environments and I particularly strive to convey story and meaning in every illustration while maintaining a sense of wonder and magic through the use of color and lighting. Outside of freelance, I work doing illustration for corporate marketing efforts and interactive apps, and have a little bit of animation magic up my sleeves for digital work. In my spare time, I also draw a tabletop roleplaying webcomic, bake a lot of desserts and endure watching my favorite baseball team lose every season. I'm always excited to work with authors as I am an avid reader--I want to know as much about the book I'm illustrating for as possible and I'm equally obsessed with finding new stories.
