Selected Portfolio | ILLUSTRATION

Drawing has always been a tool at my disposal. I’ve drawn since my childhood and is a skill that is highly refined and extremely useful in my current role. These graphics were geared to promote DDCE study abroad programs on social media.

I am adept at drawing in various styles. Additionally, I am equally as skilled in creating digital artwork with programs such as Illustrator as I am with pencil and paper. This graphic was used as the basis for all other supporting graphic materials, including program, promotional material, slide deck and backdrop projection at Google.

This illustration provides a great example of how my skills are utilized to present unique and engaging images. The Chase building is undergoing renovations and photos in our database show the building in need of repair. To promote and fundraise for those renovations I illustrated the building using an “idealized architectural style.”

My favorite style of illustration is obviously cartoon. I think it reflects my fun and outgoing personality. This style lends itself to fun and engaging promotions, while building office morale, especially when used for internal communications.

Using illustration helps open up infinite possibilities when searching for visual solutions and a good picture can't be found. To encourage participation in the annual Halloween costume contest at PTS, I illustrated and designed 11 different posters featuring various monsters and ghouls usually associated with the holiday.

I was tasked with creating an armadillo character for an external partnership with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The project, Ask ADVI, is an artificial-intelligent chat-bot geared toward informing Texans about any higher education questions they may have.

Paired with a graphic design sensibility, my drawing skills help create visually appealing yet understandable iconography.
