Excellent with colored pencil and water color illustrations. My strengths are illustrating characters, environments and scenes to bring stories to life. I am also skilled in drawing quick realistic sketches of real life objects and settings, as well as concept illustrations. My design work is always efficient, tight, balanced, visually appealing, and has an element of creativity in it that makes it unique and memorable.My strength is in making print ads, functional and effective information displays, brochures, and logos amongst other things.I have a great eye for artistic and design elements. As a designer I know how to achieve a look that fits the needs of my client, and I can get whatever message and information they want to communicate across in an effective way. As an artist I am good at bringing creativity into my work so that it draws interest with its subtly unique elements. I have lived in California most of my life but have a unique cultural experience.
