The year Google's precursor, "BackRub" started humming, IBM's artificial intelligence (AI) computer Deep Blue won it's first chess game against Kasparov, and Dolly the first cloned mammal was born, I designed my first website with images crafted in PaintShop Pro. It was 1996 and It was my first taste of design.

Since then I have illustrated icons, product images, ads, SaaS UI design, designed websites, and have worked as part of marketing teams. (See web portfolio) My formal training as an artist and illustrator began a few years ago. I work in both digital and traditional mediums like charcoal, pencil, ink, oil/watercolor/acryllic paint.
