Graphic Design Services and Creative Consulting

Prior to venturing out on my own, I gained seven years of professional experience working as a graphic designer in the power sports industry and for the Department of Defense. During that time, I had the opportunity to work on projects for Polaris, the Minnesota Vikings, and multiple X Games athletes.

I like to work within many different areas of design: logo design, branding, marketing materials, ad campaigns, publication layout, social media graphics, t-shirt design, book covers, album art, motion graphics, photo collage, video editing, and Squarespace website design. In general, I just like making things that look cool.

Illustrator and Graphic Designer with a focus on stickers, art commissions and graphic design!

Hey, I’m Abigail! I’ve wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. I really like to draw plants and flowers, nostalgic items like vintage cameras and things that are bright and colorful. I usually start with a color scheme or a theme for a piece first, then start sketching ideas.

I enjoy drawing both in my sketchbook and on my iPad using Procreate. I think it’s great to be able to easily find reference photos and drop them into Procreate, just find an idea and start drawing. I also love the texture of drawing in my sketchbook.
