Biography

My origin story begins in Southern California where I was raised on a healthy diet of animation, (comic) books, games, film, television, and pop culture.

I began drawing at a very early age, influenced by the aforementioned media, and eventually pursued an education in the arts. I have since taken those traditional skills I acquired, and translated them into the digital realm where I do the bulk of my work. I also continue to develop myself professionally, by learning new platforms, skills, and techniques to challenge myself as an artist, in an effort to bring more versatility to my portfolio.

In addition to my illustration work, I have two decades of experience doing commercial typography, while also having held past roles in the financial sector, large corporate environments, and education.
