About Me.
Hi there! I am an artist and designer for film & television. My speciality is in Graphic Design; however, I have many other skills. From illustration, prop making, and set dressing, to office skills like excel, powerpoint, time management, I have a broad wingspan of experience. My career path has been winding: working in theater companies, start-ups, large corporations, and spending hundreds of hours freelancing. My passion for creation also lends me a drive learn and develop my skills in whatever way possible. I am eager to lean and excited to try new techniques. Have questions? Feel free to reach out!
