About

I am a graphic designer and illustrator with over 17 years of personal and professional work experience, currently residing in the Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I studied Illustration at Art Center College of Design, and graduated with the Highest Distinction in 2016.

Since 2004, I have been working professionally as a freelance illustrator/graphic artist primarily in the fields of print advertising, brand development and multimedia-marketing, story-boarding and editorial illustration. I have served a diverse clientele base, including: mortgage banking, real estate, hospitality, aviation, healthcare, and insurance industries. That said, while I’ve produced a lot of corporate work, through my personal interests and fine arts education, I have honed my artistic sensibilities, and as a result, my style is such that I can communicate practical ideas and concepts with an elevated aesthetic.

A large part of my work experience was under the tutelage of The Design League, where I served as an Art Director and lead designer/illustrator on select projects. This included design and layout through the production of print collateral, web graphics, email marketing, and various multimedia. As a result of working in this directorial/leadership position, I am adept at prioritization and time management, and most importantly, have ample experience balancing communication within small and large teams with varying perspectives, and guiding groups to a common and effective consensus.

In 2013, my Illustration work was featured by Macy’s State Street in Chicago ( Project Window Competition - Best Overall Design Winner) and was again featured in 2015.

I am currently working as the Creative Team Lead for Paramount Residential Mortgage Group’s national marketing department, where I am responsible for the design and art direction of national marketing and advertising campaigns. This includes working directly with the National Marketing Director and PR/Events Coordinator to produce graphic elements for print and multimedia applications, as well as the creation of marketing and design assets to support tradeshows, special events and web.
