I am freelance designer, illustrator and photographer with a passion for simplicity, memorable brand identities and great typography.
To me design is about simplicity, attention to detail, and most of all, storytelling. Design empowers the abilities of any product or service if it narrates the balance of the thought process combined with the beauty of effortless craftsmanship. Because of my marketing and public relations background, I understand the story and the strategy behind a design project. Then, the design process becomes the vehicle to tell this narrative in a clever and effective way, without sacrificing any creativity in the process.
I have been working as an independent design professional for over five years. I help design firms, ad agencies, private companies and entrepreneurs translate their ideas into the screen and paper. Even thou I am based out of Tampa, FL, I have worked with companies and agencies all over the US and abroad.
I am available for brand identity, illustration, graphic design work, web graphics & icon design, and product photography. Feel free to contact me directly for any design inquiry or to hire me for your next project.
