Greetings!
Thanks for checking out my portfolio. I’m a highly organized and caring Illustrator and Graphic Designer with Art Direction experience who’s been tackling a variety of projects for nonprofits, publishers, and small businesses for 10 years. I specialize in data visualizations, infographics, and illustrated graphics for print and the web.
I believe in the power of graphic design to build communities, solve problems, create conversations, and educate people about myriad topics in support of the environment and societies across the globe—and, to just generally make the world a brighter place!
Do you have a story that needs telling? I have a passion for the work I do, and would love to chat with you about how my skills could support your creative needs!
