Overview
I have over fourteen years in the publishing industry, working for an established publishing house. I received a BA in Photography and later went on to acquire a 2-year degree in Graphic Design.
My background in design, fine art, publishing, product development, packaging design, photography, marketing and the hospitality industry informs my work.
I specialize in the arts, children's books, and non-fiction. I am also looking to expand my work in fiction, creating conceptual works that illustrate and enhance the story you have to tell. If you have other ideas and areas of expertise, I am always up for new adventures and welcome you to reach out.
