Originally from California and now based in Florida, my career is built on ten years of high-impact visual communication. I hold a Bachelor of Design in Graphic Design from Pennsylvania State University and a minor in Mass Media Communications. This background provides the technical foundation for my work, supported by over a decade of experience utilizing the Adobe Creative Suite to balance aesthetic appeal with functional design.
Following a period managing residential assets on the West Coast, I have transitioned my professional focus exclusively to providing graphic design and web development services.
I specialize in developing cohesive brand systems that balance aesthetic appeal with strategic market positioning. My approach ensures that every visual element serves the broader narrative of the organization.
From intricate infographics to scalable vector icons, I utilize a deep understanding of the Adobe Illustrator environment to create precise and functional assets. Practice makes perfect, and the pen tool has become one of my best friends throughout the years.
Effective animation requires an understanding of the subtle movements that capture attention. Combining illustration expertise with motion design, I develop dynamic animations for projects of any scope, utilizing After Effects and Blender to deliver polished final assets.
I offer a unique intersection of design and code. While my roots are in graphic design, my experience in front-end (HTML/CSS) and back-end (CMS) development allows me to build digital experiences that are not only technically sound but are also visually compelling.
