I am an award winning designer/illustrator with over 26 years experience in identity and illustration. I work with small to mid-sized design studios and shops needing reliable top shelf help on projects that require off-site freelance talent. I'm able to produce unique, creative solutions that are on target and on budget. Many years spent within agency/studio environments has sharpened my ability to consistently deliver creative solutions under a time constraint.

I have won and have been nominated for numerous awards over the last 26 years and greet each challenge with enthusiasm and interest. Look for my logo design work in LogoLounge Volumes 3, 4, 8 and 10 and these three LogoLounge Master Library Series: 3000 Initials and Crests, Animals and Mythology and Typography and Enclosures.
