Here are some projects, that I have chosen to share. Each project has helped me grow in my craft. With this page, I aim to show where I am, where I came from, and hopefully where I am going. I am excited to see what unexpected places my career will take me next.
Working at HelloSign was been a great experience. The team was very supportive, and collaborative. I had the opportunity to work on projects such as, the design of the website, online ads, blog illustrations, a booth for Dreamforce, swag, and in-product illustrations. We even went through an acquisition by Dropbox.
I have been working at Opendoor, on the brand design team. I have created the illustration library, icon library, blog illustrations, paid social ad campaigns, data visualizations, and more. I even went on a photoshoot in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I love the care and craft that the entire team puts into the work.
Most nights after getting home from work, and walking my dog, I like to spend some time illustrating. I practice with new brushes, styles, and colors. I feel like I really found my style within the last few years. Here are some of my recent illustrations. Some of these illustrations have been featured on Behance's Illustration page.
Evernote reached out to me, about a role as one of their visual designers. It was my introduction to working in tech. The team was small but mighty when I started, with 3 designers, 1 illustrator, a videographer & photographer, and a creative director. I learned so much working there, and from the people that I worked with.
The Oakland Lost and Found Beer Garden reached out to me to create their brand, website, and do some work to their space. It was a rare opportunity to get to really define their look and feel. I even was able to paint large letters on their garden's back wall. I made their website heavily illustrated with a lot of fun imagery. Cheers!
I was hired at Cost Plus World Market as an Interactive Designer. I was promoted to Senior Interactive Designer after my first year there. Designing for eCommerce was a really fun experience. I was able to go on and direct some photoshoots, and also this was my first job that I was paid to illustrate.
