I graduated from Savannah College it Art and Design (SCAD) back in 2016 with a degree i. Illustration and a minor in Art and Entertainment Management.
I've been doing freelance in my spare time for years now. I've done branding, surface pattern design, licensing, invitation/stationery design, etc. I've worked with a wide range of clients, from my family members to Penguin Random House; doing projects such as boat logos, essential oil branding and packaging design, book covers, local branding bumper stickers, and wedding invitations. I've loved every minute of each project and look forward to new opportunities!
I am currently an in-house designer for a giftware and tabletop company where I design products such as greeting cards, Invitations, wrapping paper, gift bags, napkins, plates, and much more. I find that this plays a great role in my own personal work as well as freelance because I know what people want to buy and why some things just don't sell.
How I work:
I typically work both traditionally and digitally; starting with paints or sketches and making adjustments in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign if needed. I work well with pen and ink, watercolor, (any paints really), charcoal, colored pencil, embroidery, lettering/typography and digital painting.
I am convinced that illustration is a constant resource that allows me to express myself. With every form of communication, illustration is the one that I have always understood the clearest. Therefore, there has never been a question of whether or not it's my life’s calli
Work Terms
Because I have a 9-5 job, my after work hours and weekends will be dedicated to these projects.
