Character artist and Illustrator

Summary

With over a decade of experience in freelance illustration, I have honed my skills in creating captivating visuals that meet the unique needs of individual clients. My work extends beyond commissions, as I spent two years as the lead artist at "Dr Vape It," where I crafted banners, labels, posters, and logos for the Dr.Vapeit and Vader Vape lines. My portfolio also includes diverse projects for the USAF, involving the design of moral t-shirts, pins, wall murals, and other merchandise. I excel in digitizing and vectorizing old logos, breathing new life into historical designs for several squadrons. My passion for visual storytelling and attention to detail make me a valuable asset in delivering creative solutions that exceed expectations.
