Summary

I have been a concept artist in the entertainment industry for the past nineteen years. Having recently moved from my 9 year position with Global Experience Specialists as their main illustrator on exhibit projects like Avatar, D 23, Harry Potter and Narnia to name a few I am returning to the freelance concept artist world full-time. Having also worked as a part time freelance artist for Disney for the past eighteen years providing concept art for the 60th Rose parade float, the Aladdin,Tangled, Nemo and Toy Story shows. I have a vast amount of real world experience designing sets, shows and entertainment experiences throughout the globe. I have done everything from bluesky napkin sketches through design drawings and production, however my first love is concept illustration as you will see from some of my samples.

I started my career as a set designer on Islands of Adventure using traditional mediums and thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of theme park design. I continued to learn and expand my skill set by moving into digital design and used those skills to become a senior concept artist. The creative process and being able to work with so many amazing artists, designers, writers and engineers to create new experiences continues to be a major driving force in my work. I have also loved having the opportunity to teach entertainment design, product design and illustration at Art Center, local art museums and local public schools. Through teaching I have learned how to effectively communicate ideas and the design process to others and how to help them develop those skills.
