San Diego, CA
I am a creative, a counselor, a connector, and culture maker. I have written and produced several radio ads and commercials, as well as developed many online communication strategies for commercial and non-profit clients. I love designing for web, mobile, and print. Over the years, I have worked with Disney/ Pixar artists, organizations such as the San Diego Half Marathon, Conscious Discipline, Heavenly Yogurt, RYFO Network, and Give Clean Water.
I was born in Los Angeles, California and currently live and work in San Diego. My paintings and design work have been featured in local papers, on MTV’s TRL, have spawned an album single cover for Mariah Carey, have been showcased on local city billboards, mounted to high school gym walls, used for Yearbook covers, and have also been seen in brochures, postcards, and numerous publications in print and online.
I also curate art and write about brands I am passionate about. Check out my Pixar Tribute blog at fortheloveofpixar.com and other things I do in the footer below.
