About
As a passionate and highly communicative designer and illustrator, I have 18+ years professional experience. I’ve worked with a variety of clients, from yoga studios, to surf brands, to mass market stores. I approach every project with an open ear to listen deeply to clients needs, and use my artistic gifts to translate their vision.
