PG&E was looking for a new approach in reaching out to small to medium businesses with a specialized team dedicated to saving costs and time while managing energy. We began with campaign concepts ranging from employee photoshoots to custom hand-drawn avatars.
We ultimately moved forward with an on-site employee photoshoot of the SMB Energy Team that was a hit with the entire corporation and launched successfully. I provided art-direction of the shoot, design of concepts and illustrations, and delivery of print-ready mechanical files under the guidance of my Creative Director while at R2i.

I teamed up with Lighthouse as they were approaching the launch of their product to mass market. I designed everything from animated ads and email blasts, to the cart flow for the website and packaging design for the wall mount. Things were always moving at a fast pace, decisions changing on the fly, and a final market deadline on the horizon; it was an absolute blast and truly amazing to watch the product grow before my eyes.

Working to establish a recognizable brand in the in the west, LeEco aimed to provide a complete content experience for the millennial consumer.

Pocket Gems was one of the first to enter the mobile gaming industry with a bang back in 2009. Titles like Tap Zoo and Pet Hotel put them on the map of the new mobile gaming craze and they've been going strong since, with a vision to bring truly enjoyable games to an ever-growing audience and a platform that is always on the cutting edge.
I came to Pocket Gems as a junior designer in 2011, and over the 5 years I spent there I helped develop and market every title the company produced. My work was the welcome mat for anyone discovering our games. I acted as the sole graphic designer for the first two years, eventually building up a team both internal and external and growing into a seasoned and passionate Senior Artist.

I surround myself day in and day out with art and visuals that inspire me. When I'm not creating or designing for work, you can be certain you'll find me doing it for pleasure. I live and breath art and practice and push my creativity every day; whether it's finding crafts to do together with my daughters, or learning a new skill like acrylic painting, I am always on an artistic path of growth.
The following gallery holds just a few highlights from my own personal works and creative ventures. These are either in-depth studies to push my understanding of a given method, or moments and characters brought to life from my mind's eye. I hope to learn and grow from every experience I have, be it as a professional or a hobbyist.
