FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always looking to improve my own technique and to learn new ones! I have done many classes on Skillshare under highly rated professors and professionals in the field, and I also keep up with the latest illustration annuals as well as with my illustration colleagues and professionals in the industry on the latest art competitions and breakthroughs.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Editorial and spot Illustrations for magazines, logo designs, character designs, licensed pattern designs, family/pet/personal portraits.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
To many, the definition of a "Designer" means it's a person who specializes in ALL types of design, which isn't true. A designer could be a graphic designer (which includes any kind of layouts or graphics/fonts created for print or web..and sometimes web design and coding), web designer, fashion designer, interior designer, flash/media or interactive designer, or character designer. For clients who are in need of a specific designer, more times than most they ask for just a "Designer" without giving any specifics in the title or expect "the designer" to know and be an expert in all types of design I've listed above...when artists go to school to specify in one area of particular study, and that each type of design requires a different degree in that study. You learn different programs under each major...it's like expecting a hygienist to know all the same things and have the same education and knowledge as an orthodontist. It's frustrating and makes it harder for artists to find jobs that way, because too many people don't specify in the title what type of designer they need.
