ILLUSTRATION
Where art and design comes together. Illustrations utilize all of my layout, design, and rendering skills. No matter what I’m rendering; a cityscape, a bowl of noodles, native Ohio flowers, or my favorite quote, its problem solving that always has a beautiful visual as the end result.
My creative personality is best described through my creative process. It starts with an idea. This is my favorite part! The excitement of something new and endless possibilities. My happy place is a waterfall in the distance! After the initial excitement fades, there's usually a period where I start second guessing my idea and even doubting my abilities. Once I fully commit to the idea/design and regain my confidence, the process of revisions and iterations starts. Making layout changes, palette changes, or possibly changing the style all together, all to strengthen the design. Eventually rounding the bend and completing the project!
Inspired by a winter walk through Springfield with Jeremy Mudd. My first fully digitally illustrated map was published in the 2021 edition of Where We Walk: 100 Illustrated Maps of Wonderful Walks from Around the World.
