CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in editorial illustration began while I was pursuing my bachelors of fine art. What I love most about editorial work is its ability to capture the idea of a story, topic, or event and draw its audience in while accenting and supporting the information it is depicting. For me, the two most important qualities of a successful editorial illustration is knowing your client's intended audience and fully embodying the information that you are depicting into your illustration.
