Editorial
Editorial illustration is a collaboration. I love working closely with art directors to create visuals that deepen and add a unique twist to a piece of writing. I've worked with magazines and publications on everything from cover art to spot illustrations, bringing a visual voice to features, opinion pieces, and longform journalism in both print and digital.
