Hello! I love to create characters, worlds for them to live in, and stories for them to tell. Focused on narrative illustrations for storybooks & character designs, I’ve also created design work for themed environment clients. I’ve also done work for WRiTE BRAiN BOOKS, a company providing a unique and creative educational experience for K-12.
I’m an alumni of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, with past work featured in the Society of Illustrators, and I’ve also taught art privately over the years.
I live in Santa Rosa, California, with my wife, our two children, and cat.

Currently I’m focused on character design and narrative illustration, but if my work makes a connection for you or your project I would be happy to discuss.
