Visual Art – Minneapolis
graphic designer, illustrator, and creator.
I recently relocated from my lifelong home in Northern Virginia to the nice city of Minneapolis, MN, with my husband. This change of pace has given me the opportunity to focus more on my freelance work and explore other avenues of artistic creativity, styles, and mediums.
Graphic Designer. I have been a graphic designer for the US government by day for more than ten years. The work is challenging, demanding, and requires you to be multidisciplinary. I create visuals to explain complex stories through visualization. I love this new buzz word, visualization, it embodies the problem solving aspects of graphic design that I love; communication, collaboration, and organization.
Illustrator. My origins in the field of arts started with illustration. I enjoy capturing life, concepts, and patterns in different interpretive ways. My freelance work by night often utilizes illustrations, following a more creative and freestyle format.
Creator. I envision, research, learn, plan, and execute. What results from that work is my creation. I don't have a specific style or signature "mark." I am always experimenting with ideas, styles, and mediums—never sticking to the same trend or idea for too long.
