About
Hi there and thank you for stopping by to check out my portfolio!
If you don’t mind, I’d like to tell you a bit about my professional journey as an artist. I am a Senior Graphic Designer with 20+ years of experience in the Children's Consumer Products and Toy Industry. The past seventeen years of my career were spent as a Nickelodeon Consumer Products Art Director and Sr. Designer, where I specialized in Toy Packaging and Promotions Marketing. Being a part of this company for so many years allowed me to design for multiple lines of business. Ventures ranged from apparel, packaged goods, publishing, recreation design, and point of purchase displays, through to a variety of brand creative guidelines.
Personally, I have a strong passion for all things whimsical, including illustration, photography, sewing, DiY projects and a love for editing in Photoshop. If the final outcome of the design makes someone smile, it is all worth it!
