Freelance Illustrator / Owner

Creative & Design

Mid-level illustrator with professional experience in designing apparel, accessories, and licensed product. I'm skilled in Adobe Creative Suite, graphic art, apparel and accessory design, and visual development. I love a good design challenge, enjoy working on teams, and can implement a diverse range of styles!

I complete freelance illustration, personal commissions, and exhibition work using full color traditional and digital illustration techniques.

I have a line of print, enamel pin, and sticker products that I sell in an online store, as well as at conventions like DesignerCon.

Of note - I love building relationships with clients over the course of a project, while making sure their needs have been met in a professional and timely manner. I think that attention to detail makes all the difference.

As a Graphic Artist at J!nx, my responsibilities include-
- Illustrating and designing graphics for licensed apparel using Adobe Creative Suite
- Designing and applying graphics to licensed accessories and custom apparel
- Working with fellow artists in the art department to complete time sensitive and crucial projects
- Creating tech packs and performing quality control checks on custom apparel designs
- Conducting out of office market research and preparing trend boards for department meetings
- Communicating with vendors to ensure proper production of designed products

I have experience working with and designing products for the following licensors: Mojang, Blizzard, CDProjektRed, Psyonix, Bioware, Ubisoft, and Blue Hole/PUBG Corp. 

Graphic Artist

I designed three unique, inclusive characters and provided key art for each. They were to be included in a game called Bridge to Solas, created by Prevail Games.
