I am a small town designer with big ideas. I have drawn with traditional mediums my whole life and my passion to create is always evolving. Having worked with some amazing artists collaborating on album covers, comics and posters for 15 years, I am still excited by the prospects of new and groundbreaking art.
I don’t shy away from logo work and digital design and embrace the challenge of branding companies so they can maximize their impact with sleek visuals and a crisp message. I have worked in the POP (Point of Purchase) display industry for over 20 years. All the while collecting knowledge in CNC’s, laser operations, screen printing and digital printing. I pride myself on being a problem solver that can think outside the box and find solutions that work within deadlines and the constructs each, individual project.
From 2010-2017 I was co-owner of Days of the Dead: Horror Convention. As a team we brought Horror, art and celebrities to Indiana, Chicago, Atlanta, Kentucky and California. We sold out hotels, worked with hundreds of vendors and brought a fast paced trade show to fans and professionals of the genre. I was the team’s creative director and manager of the customer service personnel.
My ultimate goal is to support and brand business in creative ways allowing for maximum growth and expression.
