Professional Experience
I am a Designer, illustrator, freelance Art Director and former National Geographic Art Director with expertise in science and technology. I produce illustrations, diagrams, infographics and animations for scientific, technology, industrial, advertising and aviation clients, as well as publications and educational organizations. I work primarily in 3D digital modeling and animation, and some digital painting and drawing.
With over 30 years experience in industrial design, illustration, advertising, education and journalism, I strive to transform complex information into understandable and engaging visuals. I routinely seek new client opportunities and would be happy to discuss your illustration and communication needs via phone or email.
