Graphic design
Leveraging more than a decade of professional graphic design expertise, I've crafted diverse works spanning industries encompassing music, entertainment, transportation, and beyond. My experience includes creative graphics tailored for websites, social media, print, merchandise, and various other mediums. I enjoy balancing the creative and technical elements of design to marry my artistic and analytical inclinations.
Photo Editing
I specialize in using Photoshop as my primary design software. Over time, I've honed a mastery in Photoshop, relishing the meticulous and detailed process involved in transforming and enhancing images. Whether it's converting a desert scene into the Canadian Rockies, skillfully removing subjects from portraits, or transforming an iPhone photo into a versatile graphic design asset, I value the precision and discerning eye essential for editing these images. The images seen here are the final product, hover over each photo to witness its transformation from its original state.
Merchandising
My background in graphic design has most often been used in my love of merchandising. I first began designing and producing merch for touring bands (myself included) and I leveraged that experience of designing and sourcing to establish a gift shop at a prominent tourist destination in Malibu. Most recently I’ve used my expertise to create swag for employees and customers at Xos. In all of these situations, I've adeptly handled substantial budgets, cultivated and sustained vendor partnerships, curated high-quality merchandise, and optimized inventory management processes for efficiency.
digital illustration
Continuing to cultivate my skills beyond the professional sphere holds significant value for me. Among my passions is digital illustration, particularly designing enamel pins showcased in my Etsy shop. I love designing things that I wish existed and creating them for others to enjoy as well. Here, you can see a selection of these digital illustrations that ultimately evolve into unique pins. Feel free to visit my shop to see the final products derived from these designs.
