Utilize my creative, artistic and organizational skills in illustration and design, while collaborating with clients, ensuring the client's goals are met.
I'm an artist, illustrator and designer. I work with a vast array of media - both traditional and digital - including watercolor, gouache, oil, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Even cake and icing. I sell fine art to a number of private collectors and I've collaborated with numerous clients including Disney, Pixar, Nick Jr., Paramount, Colorforms, University Games, Artistic Studios and Gap. I'm also a published children's book illustrator.
I enjoy the brainstorming and development of new projects; collaborating with clients and teams. My work is often brightly colored, cheerful and based on nature and interactions around me in daily life. A native of Michigan, I now live in Napa, CA where the beauty of Northern California's natural world influences my work.
Work Terms
I work traditional PST working hours. I communicate through email and scheduled phone and/or video calls.
I begin work once a signed contract is in place and a down payment has been paid (a portion of the total agreed upon amount). I schedule a payment schedule within the contract and it is based on the size, scope and cost of the project. Often 25% down, and 3 more additional 25% payments as milestones are met. Occasionally for smaller projects it will follow a 50% down, and 50% on completion.
I offer 3 rounds of feedback in the development stage at each development milestone. Any additional rounds of feedback are billed at an additionally hourly rate.
