PLASTIC ATK®

Welcome to my portfolio site.  I’m a designer, art director, and commercial artist. I specialize in visual identities, package design, collaborative brainstorming, and illustration. I am happiest when working at the cross roads of type and image. I have had a lot of great opportunities in my career from working with inspiring and talented creative minds, to cutting a man’s portrait out of a piece of pimento loaf.

Why Plastic Attack? Because my given name does not have the most common spelling. I didn’t want people to misspell my website name, so I looked for an alternative. I came up with a two word combination that felt right for my style. I saw that it was available, and I ran with it.

UTOPIA Fiber


Speed AND Reliability

 UTOPIA Fiber is one of those clients that had the grand vision. They delivered the best service in the business and that made developing their visuals easy. We tried to capture the essence, quality, and quantity of content that comes with fiber optic internet. We worked with Laura Alejo to establish the look of the illlustrations and then filled in the rest. Animation was done in-house and turned out to be one of the favorite projects, amongst our team, to work on.
