I am a graphic artist, illustrator, and designer originally hailing from the great state of West Virginia. Since childhood, I have been fascinated with how text and images connected - when I was young I would literally chop up comic book pages to understand how they worked. Following that passion provided a career designing print, digital, and film assets for businesses, community organizations, and nonprofits of all shapes, sizes, and interests. My background in communications and my MFA in Visual Storytelling from the Center for Cartoon Studies give me a unique and insightful perspective on creating content that resonates. Design is a calling to never stop learning, growing, and building my skills and I savor that opportunity. I live in the Upper Valley of Vermont with my wife and cat.
