As a writer, I enjoy researching and writing stories, articles and plays. As a preschool coordinator, I was often tasked with coming up with new modern stories and techniques for presenting the familiar Bible stories to the children in a fresh way. To see the light of realization and joy in a child’s face when they hear and understand the stories read or told to them is a wonderful thing.
As a freelance illustrator and creative, I love to bring stories to life visually with expressive and colorful images as well. I strive to communicate my client’s needs by creating two dimensional images using techniques to create the requested effect or style with color, shadows, and light. My goal is to convey meaning and feeling effectively through the images I create while simplifying complicated ideas with stand alone scenes and spreads. I begin by listening to my client’s needs and contributing my own ideas as necessary so that the resulting product represents and embodies all of the specific needs of the client. I value working together with clients to come up with the best version of their dream.
Projects that I have worked on include:
Greeting Cards
J Cards
Icons
Digital Magazines
Plays / Skits
Hand Lettering
Advertisements
Children’s Curriculum
Church Bulletins
Print Products
Branding
Newsletters
Party Invitations
I am experienced in the Microsoft Office Suite and the Adobe Creative Suite specifically InDesign, Photoshop, LightRoom and Illustrator. I also use Procreate for illustration projects frequently. I am open to submitting ideas in physical mediums of paint, pencil or watercolor if necessary to ensure the client’s favored image style.
