Patent Illustration, Graphic Design

McLean, VA, USA
I am a multidisciplinary artist who is still building up a list of clients. If there's something I've never done, I know how to research. The majority of my experience has been with sequential art and patent illustration with Adobe Illustrator, but I am also a digital painter, can retouch photographs seamlessly, and have some 3d modeling and animation experience.

Work Experience

My responsibilities include project management, client need assessment as far as product angles and scenarios needed, resource gathering, and illustration. The patent office is specific about the style that each drawing must be created in, and how clearly and detailed the drawings must be, which must be considered to what degree depending on the project.
