How I'd describe my personality in two sentences
I find immense satisfaction to engage in challenging situations because I can craft effective solutions for them.
How I'd describe my approach to my work
I use a simple 3 Stage Design process. 1. Vision sharing: Use your design brief to describe what you need with great detail! use nouns and adjectives to make it as clear and precise as you can and you will get exactly what you want! 2. Design exploration: While perusing the brief, I brainstorm exploring different ideas and concepts collecting references for style, composition and create a mood-board. 3. Transition to perfection: The goal is to create a visual story on a still image that invites the viewer to engage with your work. We'll keep refining until you get the design you love!

If you're looking for a designer who will go above and beyond to give you the best book cover you can possibly imagine, you have to go with Jay! He did an outstanding job bringing the characters of my book, "The Kooky Clowder in the Classroom", to life with his versatility in style and beautiful choice of colors. He'll meet your needs all the way and then some. I'm especially happy with how well he incorporated all the details I wanted for my book cover, including the characters' individual appearances. Jay really knows his stuff, and I can't recommend him highly enough!
