I have a BFA in fine arts from Oregon State University and an AAS in graphic design from Linn-Benton Community College. I am well rounded in the arts and in design. I love the computer but I also love to work with my hands.

I use computer software such as, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, and Dreamweaver. I am familiar with both PC and Mac. I have also attained other skills through the practice of traditional illustration materials like colored pencil, markers, pastels, and ink wash. I am also an oil painter and watercolorist.

I worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for Russell’s Nursery Inc. I was responsible for all their marketing materials such as catalogue, tagging, and poster design for their spring production. I also worked to develop a logo for their new mall kiosk and helped to maintain their website (which is similar to a Wordpress site). I was also in charge of communication with printers and making sure that all production of marketing materials went smoothly.​
