I am a freelance Graphic and UI Designer residing in Milwaukee, WI. I enjoy working directly with clients to fully realize their project goals, as well as part of a team, to collaborate and continually develop my visual communication skills.
I am also a Fine Artist experimenting in nearly every medium available. My work ranges from collage and painting, to digital and even sculptural pieces. I see my Fine Art and professional Graphic Design practices informing and playing off one-another. I also thoroughly enjoy the creative process.
