About: Clients include, The New York Times Magazine, Dwell, Stanford School of Business Magazine, Esquire Black Book, The Atlantic. My work has been recognized by Communication Arts, Graphis, D&AD and others. I have taught aspiring illustrators in art colleges as well as aspiring advertising art directors at Miami Ad School Toronto. In addition to illustration, I have led animation projects, directed and storyboarded, built creative brand strategy and advocated for vulnerable people being treated unjustly. While some may interpret what you and I do together with design as page decoration, we in fact harness attention. This guides people through valuable topics, breaks them into digestible concepts and encourages momentum.
