My Bio
I am a highly experienced professional graphic designer and illustrator. Experienced in working on multiple projects as freelance, in-house and as part of a remote team. I have successfully completed projects ranging from complete corporate branding, including logo design, website design, product photography and photo-manipulation; brochure design, banner design, tabletop display for use at conventions, flyers and posters.

While working as an art director at MYU Development additional projects included: concept art for splash pages, backgrounds, HUD design, character design, acquiring and managing additional talent to produce additional art assets.

As a freelancer I have also worked on projects involving comic book art, story boarding, product label design, web banners and t-shirt design.

Maintaining a creative curiosity and hunger for learning has allowed me to spread my creative talents into many varied projects that I had never expected to take on. However, being able to view each new project as an exciting new challenge has allowed me to stay fluid in my career and look forward to any and all new potential projects.

I don't blame them, they only know the harshness of society and I lacked the courage and confidence to go after what I wanted. I failed many times along this career path and a lot of the time I would do nothing but sulk and curse a world that couldn't see my potential. At times I would be inspired and would draw, but most of these went unfinished, either from a psychological block of being scared to rui

It seems that in our society most people would tell you one of two things: 1. it's not, it is merely ornamentation. 2. art is only as important as its market value. They are, of course, very wrong. The value of art is intangible. Art at its core is storytelling, whether it be a single picture or a series of pictures shown in rapid succession. Art is how we choose to view ourselves and as a result how we choose to portray ourselves. The eloquent poet scientist, Carl Sagan, fought his whole life to show us the vital importance a deep relationship with science meant for our continued progression and existence as sentient beings. However, I think

It's my Dad's mantra and I have been seeing it everywhere. It's a really profound 4 words, because it not only helps us find the strength to persevere through the tough times, but it helps us not take for granted the good. My life has been very interesting to say the very least and I have come to realize that even the tragedies can be blessings in disguise. The key is to realize that the events that surround us and we are a part of in our everyday lives are chaotic and uncontrollable; However, we are in complete control of our perceptions, our actions and our reactions. Our perception in particular is such a powerful thing, that often goes un
