Designer / illustrator currently based in Houston, Texas. I've worked in diverse industries including space, medical, and web marketing. I've designed and built websites and emails, created logos and brand guidelines, a range of print pieces, powerpoints for high-profile corporate presentations, and even illustrations for medical devices and procedures. I enjoy the challenge of new projects, and the chance to create something the world has never seen before.

Although my degree is in graphic communications, my creative interests are rather broad and include digital and traditional art, sculpture, and vivaria. I also have a strong interest in science (particularly astronomy and biology) and enjoy the opportunity to learn new things, especially as they pertain to design. If you have a question, comment, or project I may be interested in, feel free to contact me on social media or send me an email. Thanks for stopping by.
