Professional info
As a graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in both Illustration and Animation my work reflects a love for all things inspired by Studio Ghibli and the classic cartoons of the past. Rich in color, bold and graphic, with likable concepts and characters, I find my work most suited for the editorial/publishing, animation, advertising, and children's books markets.

The Pirates House: Hostess
June 2017 – March 2020
​When I was a hostess there I greeted everyone whom came in, showed them to their tables, and if they had any questions I was there to give their answers. I also answered the telephone calls that came in which include menu questions, directions, to-go orders, and reservations.
Rico’s Fine Dining Mexican Restaurant: Hostess and Busser
September 2015 – April 2016
When I worked there as a hostess, I greeted everyone who came in, showed them to their tables, answered the telephone, took and prepared to-go orders, as well as cashed out customers. As a busser I would go to each table and clean them off as guests would leave, set tables up for larger parties if needed, and clean the floors of the restaurant at the end of the shift.
