I am an experienced editorial and commercial artist who understands tight deadlines and even tighter budgets. As both photographer and artist I have established a deep archive that often proves to be a tremendous resource on assignments. I embrace a collaborative editing environment. I also consider myself to be highly conceptual and an independent thinker as well. The awards I have won for my editorial illustration work also include national recognition for my own OPED pieces. My work has earned both national and international acclaim. Some of this recognition includes top honors from the following professional organizations:

• The Society for News Design: Gold and silver medals as well as Judges’ Special Recognition.
• The National Headliner Awards: First place finish for the sixth consecutive year.
• The National Press Photographers Association
• The National Association of Black Journalists
• The Associated Press
• The National Society of Professional Journalists
