Hire the Best Illustrators in Chicago, IL

With previous work experience at Disney Interactive, Microsoft, and recently as Art Director at indie game studio Rogue Rooster, I have 2 major skills - Vibrant stylized concept art suited for entertainment & vector illustration for apps and brands. Concept art: From character designs and splash art to trading card illustrations and surreal, whimsical environment concepts. My work brings colorful, exaggerated fantasy worlds to life across PC and console games, board games, digital card games, tabletop RPGs, and mobile games. I create character design sheets for 3D modeling, key art that captures your game's essence, pitch deck illustrations for investor presentations, and concept art that balances playful energy with surreal, dreamlike touches and professional polish. Whether you need hero splash art for launch, compelling visuals for a pitch deck, a full character roster, or environment concepts, I approach every project with the goal of making something that feels both imaginative and inviting. I've also worked on practical applications like product design visualization, so I understand how art translates from concept to manufacturing. Vector illustration: Experienced in modular character design for user customization. Well versed in Adobe Illustrator to create logos, mascots, and anything in vector.

I’m a senior graphic designer and fine artist. I work on projects where clarity, structure, and precision matter—often in healthcare, corporate, or content-heavy environments. My work includes branding, logo design, brochures, reports, and marketing materials. I’m particularly comfortable with dense information and long-form content, where hierarchy and layout make the difference between confusion and clarity. What I bring is not just execution, but a trained visual eye. My background in fine art allows me to create work that feels more intentional, more balanced, and less generic than typical corporate design. I look forward to working with you and making your project not only effective, but beautiful!
