    Hello there. Feeling overwhelmed yet? I'm mean there are so many artists and profiles and portfolios and recommendations and deliverables and skillsets and digital vs. traditional and....and.....and..... I know I'm just another profile on this site. I'm new to this too. But here's why I want to work with you. I want you to have your dream become something you can hold and show to the people closest to you. I want you to be happy and share your dream with the rest of us. That's why I'm an artist and I'm willing to struggle, because I do the same thing. I've done many other jobs, but this is my calling. Below is going to be bullet points that are supposed to sum up my offering. Just know, I want your dream to be with us. And I will do everything I can with my talents to help get you get there. That is a promise. Here's how I will keep that promise: 🗣️Communication is key to any relationship. I respond to emails and texts and Snaps and Zooms and and DMs and smoke signals and....you can call me too...if you're more old-fashioned like me. When can you call me? Any time. If you need something right away. My studio is in my house. I can be at work as soon as I brew some coffee and fire my laptop up. ⚒️I work digitally in Clip Studio Paint primarily and a watercolor paint program called Rebelle 5. But I can deliver products in a wide range of programs such as Corel Painter or Photoshop, or Illustrator. I have worked traditionally too, but for speed and corrections I prefer to work in digital formats. 🎯I will meet deadlines. If I don't think I can make a deadline, I will tell you before we set up the deadline. Period. You and I both don't need the stress of all that. Again, I want you to be happy with this process. And I don't need and stomach issues. 🙌You can make as many corrections as you'd like until you're happy with what we've produced. I'm an artist and I'm used to criticism and correction. I can handle it without being offended or resistant to change. In fact, challenging me is what I expect. You'll help me grow as a person and as an artist, and you, of course, will help the very best for your project. 😊You're not just a client to me and I hope I can be more than just a freelancer you hired once. I like relationships with other creative people. I crave that conversation and the dreaming out loud. We can share that together regardless of if we work together or you hired someone else. Wow! You made it to the end of my profile. My hope is you read something that inspired you that we might be a good fit. If you did get that spark, just send me a message and we can start talking about how we can get this dream going today. I'll be here, waiting to get started.
