I graduated from Portfolio Center in 2000. I am a freelance ilustrator with experience in book publishing, greeting cards, web design, and character design. I specialize in humorous and children's illustration. I primarily work digitally in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop but also work traditionally in acrylic. I have painted for years and have done works for illustration, fine art, and mural projects. I taught character design at Portfolio Center in 2003 and two of my students were showcased in CMYK magazine. I currently reside in Cleveland, Ohio with my family, where I continue to make art today.
