Making our ideas happen

  • Yes! In addition to yearly product releases from my studio, I accept commissions. Since 2000 I’ve worked as a creative professional for Fortune 500 companies, as well as design studios and in-house teams. I’ve owned my studio since 2007.

  • Illustration and design services for a variety of applications such as tabletop games, print and digital media, pop-up shop displays, apparel, etc. I also host creative workshops and exhibit at in-person events.

  • Pricing is based on the project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, I’ll send a quote. No hidden fees or confusing terms included.

  • In addition to being easy-to-do-business-with, I’m deeply imaginative and take business needs seriously. Magic + Logic – it’s a combo that’s always served me well.

  • I bring a friendly, positive energy to the projects I work on and those I work with. I’ve built my career on selfless collaboration and real partnership.

  • I do not use AI to ideate, generate, or create any assets or produce final work. Further, I do not accept requests to mimic generative AI outputs.

  • Challenge coin designs, custom patches, custom apparel, illustrations for games and books, world-building presentations for ASU / GCU, print publication layouts, icon and emoji packages, and lots more.

    Samples shared on request. 30-minute consultations are at no charge.
