I have been illustrating since I was 5 years old. I have won numerous poster-making awards from elementary school through high school and college. I worked as an illustrator/animator for a US-based web-design studio. I was also a product designer for Russ Berrie and Co. ( US-based company engaged in the production of stuffed toys, and other novelty items). Currently, I am a Senior Pagemakeup Specialist for the CGI Group, a UK-based company with offices in the US, Japan, HongKong, London, and Sydney. During the year 2000, I was picked from thousands of applicants to join the roster of illustrators of Glasshouse Graphics. The job is to do comicbooks for companies such as DC, Marvel and Image.
