    With an MA in Art Direction and Graphic Design, I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer and take pleasure in helping my clients achieve a look and style appropriate to their design needs. :) I have experience designing for print, digital and physical illustrations, paintings, various types of graphic design and am always looking for more new and interesting techniques and processes ! If you need some beautiful watercolor flowers and herbs to adorn a wedding invitation...but you also need the rest of the wedding invitation with times and dates and beautiful fonts ? Or maybe you need a professional portrait drawn or painted to sit on the mantle of family friends as a unique and one-of-a-kind wedding gift ? How about some delectable food illustrations to hang in the kitchen ? For these types of projects and many more, I would love to discuss your art and design needs with you and help breathe life into your idea. I’m happy to meet you !
