Let’s Collab!

Some credentials to start us off:

B.F.A. in Graphic Design from Western Carolina University

With expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere), I create impactful visuals—including infographics, charts, videos, and animations. My background also extends to Learning Experience Design, where I apply storytelling and UI principles through Articulate 360 (Storyline and Rise) to craft engaging, interactive courses. With over seven years of experience in eLearning and Instructional Design, I specialize in developing immersive learning experiences that blend creativity and functionality.

What I’m all about:

As an illustrator, I work across digital and mixed media, embracing a versatile approach. My style blends Picasso-esque forms with exaggerated facial elements, creating immersive worlds within each piece. I explore both clean, structured compositions and wild, experimental designs, depending on the story I want to tell.

In addition to illustration, I specialize in vector-based art, storyboarding, and creative strategy. My experience in instructional design also gives me a strong foundation in user experience and interactive media.

A bit of my background:

Currently, I work as an Instructional Designer, developing personalized learning experiences that incorporate elements of design and the ADDIE model, with a strong emphasis on interactive media. Outside of work, I participate in the artistic community whenever my schedule allows, engaging in collaborations and creative projects.

Previously, I interned at Primal Screen, an Atlanta-based production studio, where I contributed to projects for PBS Kids, Nicktoons, and Cartoon Network—working on compositing, storyboarding, asset development, and motion graphics.

In 2014, I helped install Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawing #618 at the Asheville Art Museum in partnership with the Sol LeWitt Foundation.

Let’s work together!

Whether you need bold illustrations, strategic design, or immersive learning experiences, I’d love to collaborate.
