I'm an illustrator/Designer with over 20 years experience. I specialize in character design. I have experience in children's book illustrations, logo design, mascot design, toy design, package illustration, video game development, storyboards and T-shirt design. I worked as a designer in the Toy industry for a number of years where I worked on designs for various toy and candy products for Hasbro, Mattel, Playmates, FisherPrice and Mars Candy. My work involved product and character development, turn around technical illustrations for sculpting, full color product illustrations for packaging and presentation, storyboards, and some sculpting and model making.
