I make the abstract tangible. For national trade publications I built award-tier editorial illustration, 3D, and information design — turning defense technology, data, and dense reporting into covers and spreads readers actually grasp. Alongside that: brand identity, product marketing, patent illustration, motion, and web.

I've also built the operation around the work — hiring, training, and managing artists, and designing the systems and workflows that keep quality consistent as a team scales up and down. And today I pair the craft with modern tools: I direct and build with AI to move at a speed a small team usually can't. I can make it by hand, direct it, and build the machine that ships it. Below is twenty years of the work.
