Illustrative Design

I began drawing at an early age. At first my time was spent on basic sketches of buildings, landscapes, and people. Later into my formal education I found that I could use illustration to help solve design and practical building problems. As my career progressed into product development, I learned to leverage my craft in order to capture, on paper, the words and ideas exchanged at meetings and between colleagues and clients. For me, drawing helps speed up the process of design. It presents the opportunity to capture the essence of a product and define important features long before development is considered. In the following illustrations, I worked alongside a product developer to create these technical mockups. They stand as key points of communication across countries and between business owners, designers, and manufacturers.
