Adaptation is an under-used word in an artist/designer’s profile. It should be one of the first.

I have over twenty years of professional experience working in art and design. My primary skills include graphic and web design, illustration, fine art, photography and animation, but fresh, creative ideas always come first. Without them, the rest has no substance.
I’ve worked at every level from production artist to creative director. I love to teach and one day desire to use my experiences to develop the skills of future budding artists and designers. A mentor told me at a young age to never let myself be put into a category. That advice has stuck with me ever since and I practiced it until I didn’t need to. Due in large part to this expansion in my ways as an artist I’ve been able to work with clients in almost any field, all around the globe. I feel I owe a great deal to my mentor, for without his advice I wouldn’t have such an easy time quickly meeting client’s needs; no matter the client, no matter the style.
My life-long work in art made for a natural transition into design and photography. I’m so passionate about photography that it is an obsession of mine. It’s clear I was born an artist and I’m humbled and thankful every day to be able to do what I love for a living.

Tyler took fabulous photos that captured our ideas as well as offered valuable information to enhance our story pictorially.
