Anthony is an award-winning marketer, illustrator, graphic designer, photographer, and content maker with 20+ years of marketing experience from agencies to brand teams to non-profit organizations.
My design work defies one rigid style. I nimbly jump between esthetics and mediums in the pursuit of the right look and feel to fit the brand and task. My conceptual work all starts out with sketching by hand and moving into digital mediums fluidly for final delivery. I have a degree from Michigan State University in photojournalism and am as comfortable behind a camera as I am behind a paint brush.
