Last Updated: March 2026

Now accepting commercial commissions only. Pricing packages include full commercial use. My rates reflect the comprehensive nature of my work, which includes everything from illustration and branding to full book and visual design. I can only take on a few commissions a season, so slots are extremely limited.

Licensed Resources & No AI

In the creation of commissioned artwork and designs, I may incorporate legally licensed resources (such as stock photography, textures, fonts, or design elements) sourced from reputable providers. These materials are used solely as supportive components within the final work.
All resources will be lawfully obtained, licensed for commercial use, and remain subject to the terms of the stock provider’s license.
If you request the use of a specific commercial font, stock image, logo, brandmark, or other licensed resource that you have already used in previous works, you are responsible for ensuring you hold the appropriate license for continued use.
I do not use AI generated content in any part of the commissioned work.
