RESUME

Professional â€‹

info​​
 

My first two years in college earned me an associates degree in Japanese, and later I traveled to Japan to pursue an art degree. While I am heavily focused on producing artwork, I have great experience working with and designing UI (User Interface), testing products, and artwork for the corporate field. 

 

I have the drive and determination to crank out great artwork, just give me a direction and I can fly.

 

My freelance art commissions include comic pages, postcard illustrations, business card design, logo design, and website design.

 

Currently I live and work in Tokyo Japan, but am in the process of moving back to San Francisco CA. :)
