About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
I am a highly motivated, creative, and hardworking individual. I'm a full time freelance artist (available throughout the day, not just evenings and weekends) with more than ten years industry experience.
I began learning to draw, paint, and design at age two and it has been my passion ever since. I'm living my dream, and as my parents always told me, when you love what you do it hardly feels like work!
If you would like high quality work with a fast turn around for a fair price, contact me. You won't be disappointed.

Payment Terms
I am available to work on projects on a continual basis. I prefer using Elance escrow with funds added at the beginning of a project and am happy to accept full payment when the client is completely satisfied with my design services. Once payment is received final hires/reproducible files will be provided to the client or sent to the appropriate vendor. All worker files are retained by me for future work unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
