Design & Illustration Portfolio
I have worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for two decades, half of that within digital ad agencies throughout the United States. I have created social posts, print designs, motion graphics, videos, animations, illustrations, cover designs, interior formatting for publications, websites, and assets for online games. I have worked with clients such as Ulta, ADP, Lenovo, various Kellogg’s and Kimberly-Clark accounts, Sears, Gatorade, New Holland, and many others.
Below is a small sampling of some of my designs.

Social Posts
Part of publishing is marketing through social media posts, either to gear up for a launch or to market an author’s backlist of books. These are social posts from several different promotion campaigns for different books.
