Discover the beauty of the beautiful Northwest

  I’m a graphic designer, and an avid hiker. I spend my work day at my computer designing publications, branding, infographics, and maps. But on weekends, I love exploring the forests and wide open spaces of Oregon and Washington. Getting out into the wild inspires my art. Using Adobe InDesign or Illustrator I select the pencil tool to draw a line, or the pen tool to draw a series of connected points that I fill with color. It’s detailed and time consuming work but to me, the results are worth it and lets me showcase the incredibly varied scenery of the Northwest.

Enjoy my world!
