Over twenty years of experience in creative services
Including illustration, writing, graphic and web design, interior and building design, printing, crafting and painting.
I provide imperfect, human-made creations that begin with a pencil and paper.
All concept sketches, thumbnails, detailed final art and every part of my creative process is done with my human brain and using design and art skills from decades of experience.
Originally from California, USA, I have lived in Melbourne, Australia since 2010. I have worked with clients world-wide, primarily in the music industry, along with many other businesses. My latest focus has to been to pull away from digital, online media and focus more on tangible art and print... for obvious reasons.
A bit more about me...
During and after getting my BFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA (2005), I developed a niche creating alongside other SF artists. I integrated illustration and graphic design for bands, fashion designers, artists, music festivals and creative startups.
In 2009, I co-founded Blooming Footprint, a brand development firm, with my friend and colleague Katie Fox, a marketing technologist and PR strategist. The business has grown with a reputation for providing specialised services in branding and marketing development for the music industry (and many other types of entities. client list).
Since 2009, I've been an in-house (remote) illustrator and graphic designer for the bi-annual Joshua Tree Music Festival. I handled most assets such as posters, postcards, flyers, programs, wristbands, merch, signage and website/social graphics (view poster gallery).
Since 2014, I have worked as the in-house graphic and interior designer for Soma Design & Construction. I provide all the company brand design assets and client project admins, concept drawings, floor plans and mood boards (view portfolio).
Since forever I have loved children's literature and illustration. Over the years I have written and illustrated several books including children's books, graphic novels and a sustainable living guide that I'm submitting for publication. I've just debuted my first published book, illustrating Paul Jenning's new middle grade novel - Last Chance Charlie. I have begun to do submissions of some of my books (view sample illustrations here).
I am also currently preparing to launch my own line of illustrated, sustainable homewares and crafted gifts and art. Production is underway...
