I've been doing art 'on the side' since high school. And when it comes to my art and design experience, it's pretty broad and all-encompassing. I've done costume design and costume construction for theater productions, promoted myself and built networks through online art communities, sold art prints and original artwork, illustrated short stories for magazines, created technical illustrations to be sent to manufacturers, created graphic design concepts and cascaded those concepts through creative print and online collateral for corporate events and conferences. Along with an ability to storyboard and brainstorm ideas with a client quickly by hand, I have broad experience in many traditional mediums and digital graphics programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign) and working frequently under commission for projects including: fine art and illustration, fashion design, fabric and textile design, costume design and construction, etc.
