About

I’ve been a professional illustrator for more than a decade, and have expanded on this to include web design, layout and photography. This means I can take your project from concept to completion with creativity, professionalism and panache. Whether you need a single sketch or a comprehensive corporate brand, I can help you catch your customer’s eyes.

I’ve worked for companies such as Dreamworks, Coca Cola, The Wall Street Journal, Teen Magazine, Modern Bride, Snapple, McGraw Hill and the Atlanta Journal Constitution. But don’t let that scare you. I’ve also done work for an alpaca farmer, a discerning 7-year-old and a troupe of burlesque dancers. I show my artwork in galleries and sell prints online.

I’m a huge foodie and I love mountain biking, cycling and cyclocross.

I have been in the creative industry for over 20 years and have acquired proficiency in all areas of
design, illustration and photography. I have lectured at Savannah College of Art and Design and
am very passionate about the commercial and creative arts. I have won several industry awards
and my clients are among some of the top names in the business.
In the rapidly changing creative industry, versatility is the key to being responsive to a client’s
needs. My diverse skill set allows me to easily jump from designer to illustrator to web coder to
photographer to decision maker. This adaptability can be seen in my work where I am able to
efficiently handle any task given to me – all with a watchful eye on meeting the project’s deadline
and budget requirements.
