Digital Art and Graphic Design
I’m mostly known for my work with traditional mediums, but I love creating digitally, too.
Digital work offers a different feeling to the artwork, as well as a MUCH quicker and easier turnout for you!
I tend to work mostly in Procreate and the Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro), but I have also occasionally used other tools like Canva.
Illustration
I dream of illustrating and designing book covers and interior illustrations. In particular, I love to work on books within the fantasy, mystery, holistic wellness, and spirituality genres. And children’s books, naturally. Extra points for anything that’s a little witchy or magical.
I have a special place in my heart for working with musicians… representing the magic they work in any way.
Graphic Design Work & Branding
I may have completed a degree in English Rhetoric, but I have done extensive self-study and practice in the field of graphic design and brand strategy on my own since. I have designed print assets like signage and business cards, but I focus mainly on digital assets related to websites and social media.
And my absolute passion (or obsession) is brand formation- the strategy, the visuals, and the voice. Branding is the perfect fusion of my passions for language, visual communication, psychology, and strategy. This lense informs every project I work on.
Website Design and Development
I also LOVE making websites. They feel like a work of magic. Between the layout, the animations, the labyrinth of pages, and the copy… you can really create an entire world the fits within one screen. I have made websites using Wordpress, Squarespace, and Webflow (had to take a 20 hour course to learn Webflow- intense, but so powerful!). I’m afraid my art website is the only live site at the moment, and it’s a work in progress. If you need a simple website built, let’s talk!
