Summary:
I am an illustrator and artist, focusing on illustration, concept art, character design, storyboarding, 3D modeling, graphic art, and art direction. I am passionate about collaborating and creating compelling visual imagery.

As an illustrator and designer, it's my job to help my clients solve their problems visually; helping to captivate their target audience through storytelling.

I've worked as a freelancer and contract artist on comics, animation, games, features, film, and additional assorted projects.

I graduated from the "College for Creative Studies" in Detroit, Michigan with a BFA in illustration.

I enjoy experimenting with as many mediums of art and design as much as possible so I can expand and refine my skills.

Follow me so you can get updates on my latest projects.
