My primary focus at Riot has been designing game icons for Teamfight Tactics. In this capacity, I work directly with the Visual Design and Gameplay teams from conception to final release. Although the final result of my contribution only measures a few pixels in size, the impact of creating assets for a globally celebrated game has helped to erode years of impostor syndrome. I've also created the logo and branding systems for two of Riot's internal business units. In each case, I worked closely with senior leadership throughout the creative process, and was invited to personally reveal the new branding to the entire unit at a social event. Working with Riot has also provided unique opportunitites, such as designing enamel pins to celebrate major release milestones and establishing the design system for future releases. The culmination of this work lead to spearheading the creation of the design system for a series of internal merchandising, which will be issued to every current and new Rioter for the foreseeable future.

I am responsible for every step of the creative process: from initial consultation and brainstorming to concepting and revision, to pre-press and quality control of the final product. Customer service is extremely important in a small studio with a strong reputation, which allows me to work directly with each client to develop a strategically striking visual presence.

After nearly two decades as a freelance artist, I've discovered that design is storytelling. Each collaborator is unique, and every project is an opportunity to tell their story. It could be as small as an enamel pin, or as large as a logo identity system, but the creative process is the same: Discover what makes you special, then celebrate and reinforce through strategic design.I've worked with musicians, non-profits, small businesses, global brands, friends and family, all with the same passion for problem-solving.

Surpassed quota of completed projects by 250%. Worked on numerous identity and collateral projects for various workshops. Developed various promotional brochures and wild postings for Campus Events and Services. Produced various campaigns for Job Fairs and Recruitment Expos.
