MY STORY
New York City-Based Artist
As a kid I can’t remember a time without having a doodle pad in hand. That being said, I feel blessed living my dream as a working artist in the most diverse city in the world. Through this opportunity I am able express myself creatively everyday and connect my ideas with other creative minds which has enriched my life to no bounds. I am grateful to be able to share this with you.
THE DRAWING BOARD
Browse below categories for some examples of my work and skills I have acquired over the years.
PRINT DESIGN
Inspiration can be found anywhere when designing prints. Either sketching by hand or using illustrator tools to create my fill patterns, I can be very complex with detail or design something basic but always with a eye catching flow to the pattern.
WEB GRAPHICS
Creating graphics for online users can be a challenging task and I do my very best to make sure the user gets a clear understanding of what is being offered given limited space such as banners or visual links.
PHOTO RE-TOUCHING
Sometimes a photo can use a little re-coloring or maybe the product in the photo needs replacing. Using photoshop these changes are possible and can help create the best visual impact.
PRODUCT DESIGN
Using seasonal trends and what may be required for buyers depending on the market, I have designed product such as tote bags, backpacks and lunches from generic to licensed brands.
PACKAGING
Along with product design there can be packaging needed for when it sells in stores. From hangtags to display boxes I can design the best possible solution to have the product looks its very best.
CATALOGS AND FLYERS
When designing and preparing catalogs and brochures for distribution, the product and client must look its very best for the consumer. With attention to the smallest detail, nothing can be missed to help grab the buyer's interest.
CUSTOMARY CREATIONS®
In 2011 I started a business called CustoMary Creations® as a way to share my illustrations and design through homemade stationery products. Creating my own original artwork with a little inspiration by various trends or specifically requested themes from clients, I can design, print and craft various styles of custom greeting cards, invitations, stationery, scrapbook and journal books.
