Works with a variety of clients to create designs based on each client's needs. The majority of the work are logos, branding, web content, and illustrations. I have a formulated approach to my freelance work and am flexible to meet each client's specific needs. The project is not finished until all parties are happy with the outcome.
As a curator I am able to work with some of the brightest, most talented contemporary artists in the OC//LA art scene. I work directly with galleries or retail locations creating exhibitions of original works, prints, or hand crafted works. I contact artists and organize the events from planning to finish. Each new exhibition allows me to collaborate with the artists or gallery in order to conceptualize unique themes for maximum event impact.
