I have creatively lead designers, photographers and creative teams with some amazing brands and clients for the past 15 years. As an experienced Commercial Illustrator I had the pleasure of illustrating the majority of the characters for General Mills cereals, such as Lucky Charms, Trix Rabbit, Count Chocula and the Honey Nut Bee to list a few. My client list includes; Bayer Corp, Coke, and Kraft as well as global brands like  Bauer, Laughing Cow, Nestle and Nabisco / Mondelēz.

With an illustration background, I am able to bring an experienced eye to designs and layouts with pencils sketches and marker renderings. As the process evolves into electronic design, I was able to mentor designers, who had little, if any experience in Illustration, into accomplished illustrators.

I've directed photo shoots from coast to coast. As a Creative Director, I conduct presentations of our creative to our clients and help to strategically position our designs to breakthrough on the shelf or in the marketplace. My last 15+ years has been dedicated to consumer packaging. I also have a passion and experience in corporate branding, interiors, lobby design, conference rooms. Some of my work includes interiors at Kraft Foods Glenwood, Hershey's Corporate Headquarters and Amusement park, Hershey's Chicago, and Multiple Nabisco  Mondelēz International LLC  facilities.
