About Me
I'm a full time professional graphic designer, brand expert and multi-disciplined illustrator based out of Pennsylvania. When I'm not chasing around my two daughters, I'm busy reading design blogs, debating music or catching up on the latest online musings.
My note pad is mostly full of sketches.
