Having a fine art degree, Illustration is an additional skill I offer. Inspiration comes from a wide range of subjects. All of the illustrations are initially hand drawn. some are finished in traditional medium and others digitally.
Working as a Graphic Designer at Copper Mountain Resort (Intrawest Colorardo) was a huge boost to my graphic design. Print collateral (brochures, posters, maps, stationary, logos, and more), restaurant identity, onsite signs. Other responsibilities included print buying, press checks and art directing photo shoots. Oh yeah, living there was probably the biggest perk. Definitely the best gig I’ve had as a graphic designer.

Slumberjack is a brand with a rich history going back 60 years. Recently, a full line of products has been introduced into Walmart stores.

Love watersports. As a senior designer at Exxel Outdoors I’ve produced packaging and illustration for life jackets and towables (big round inflatables which are towed behind a power boat). Packaging includes retail POP, boxes and hangtags. Illustration includes development of patterns and characters on product. The sea creatures shown on the inflatables is definitely a highlight.
