Hi friend!

Welcome.

I bet you want something unique and creative. You’re ready to stand out whether it be a custom piece or a cohesive brand for your business. You are over being generic and boring. I hear you! Let’s create something special together.

About me.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design.

Over 18 years experience in the design industry with a background in fine art and illustration.

Here’s what you get working with me:

  • A fun, easy process even a bit mysterious and exciting.

  • One on one attention.

  • Heart, soul and dedication - authenticity at its finest.

My life as a graphic designer and a digital illustrator has always been a dream—a dream I have turned into a reality. Taking raw material and being able to translate what a client says into a concrete visual is one of the most rewarding aspects of the job. I love what I do and I feel alive when I do it. Art and design shape my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I PUT CLIENTS FIRST. LISTENING IS MY SPECIALTY. SATISFACTION IS MY HIGH.

Fun Facts.

  • I flew a Cessna 172 plane.

  • I swam with the dolphins in Jamaica twice

  • I painted alongside a local French painter at the home of Claude Monet in Giverny, France.

  • Love to travel.

  • The beach is my happy place.

  • Thai food is my favorite.

  • Stroke-survivor (brain hemorrhage)

  • Firefighter’s daughter (DCFD for LIFE! Whoo hoo!)

  • Joined Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus for 8 years (no, not as a clown, acrobat, or elephant trainer!)

  • Love action, comedy, drama, romance  and sci-fi movies. NO HORROR. Nope, absolutely not. 

  • Big fan of “rescue” sitcoms (9-1-1, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Station 11, The Resident)

  • Love “feel good music” - music that you can relate to, that hits you deep down in your soul, particularly, 80 and 90’s R&B, neo-soul, jazz and old school Motown Oldies.

More happy clients.

Rishawna is one of the most capable and talented graphic artists that I have ever worked with. (And with over 15 years in marketing/communications, I have worked with my fair share of graphic artists!) Her creativity seems endless as she tackles assignments from multiple angles, providing her clients a range of options to select from and tweak. As a bonus, not only is her work top notch, she is also a pure delight to be around.
