with hand-made illustrations and personable storytelling.
As an illustrator& writer, graphic reporter, artist I stimulate the viewer's curiosity, inviting them to delight in a new perspective.Â
My primary input is nonfiction, realtime and location-based experiences, which I translate into hand-drawn, papercut, or painted images.
I also enjoy teaching classes and making commissioned art, as small as a birth announcement, as big as a 3D community art piece.
With additional years’ experience in creative strategy, and a degree in journalism, I also posesses the expertise and experience to build an initial concept into an engaging, fully-packaged content experience. As a former corporate and creative industry leader, I'm fond of a deadline, a tight brief, and passionate teams.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, I've lived and worked in the Netherlands for over a decade en ik kan ook nederlands met je praten als je dat leuk vindt.Â
