My Experience
Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Web Designer, Social Media Expert.
I have been fortunate to work as the Lead Designer for a respected marketing firm in the Milwaukee area for over 8 years. Additionally, I held the role of Creative Director at a magazine publishing company for a solid 5 years. During my tenure, I had the opportunity to design marketing materials for more than 50+ clients annually, along with creating around 40+ magazines each year.
In addition to my corporate experience, I have also ventured into the world of freelance illustration. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with some of the biggest brands out there.. such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Bobby Portis Underdog Brand, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. My illustrations have been utilized for various purposes, including merchandise, advertising, and social media graphics.
My home base is in Milwaukee, WI, where I have found inspiration and a supportive community for my creative pursuits. It has been a fulfilling journey, and I am grateful for the opportunities to contribute my leadership, skills, and creativity to different projects and brands.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
