MY STORY...After attending Cleveland Institute of Art in my hometown of Ohio, I moved to Southern California 1996 where I continued my education at Otis College of Art and Design.
Following 6 years of illustrating children’s books for an industry leading Korean educational publishing company I joined an Entertainment Marketing Agency as Creative Director where I gained invaluable experience in Branding, Management, Sales, and Marketing–I was the liaison between companies such as Google, YouTube, Kraft, Life Fitness, Sanyo, GSK, Fender Guitars, EA Sports, Volkswagen, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Cold Stone Creamery, Beck’s Beer, and some of the biggest shows on TV at that time; Two and a Half Men, Entourage, The Office, Modern Family, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory and Superstore, to name a few. Other companies I have designed for include Harp Design in Waco, TX (Joanna Gaines’ carpenter on HGTV’s hit show “Fixer Upper”), Sharper Image, Spencer Gifts, Discovery Kids and Crayola, as well as brand licensed products for SpongeBob SquarePants, Betty Boop, Lego, and Star Wars. |
