I’m an award-winning illustrator, designer, and creative director with a passion for letters, words, and images.

I help clients tell stories that embody their core values and connect with their unique communities.

My decades of experience working in education, technology, and cultural sectors has taught me how to tell complicated stories with clarity, wit, and intelligence -- and often with limited resources. Whether in print media, on digital platforms, or for live events, all of my work is guided by an appreciation for my client's culture and the role they play in the lives of their audiences.
