About Me

Hi, my name is Gab. I'm an illustrator, though my work is really about figuring out words.

I believe visuals are a key opportunity to connect and communicate with audiences. The invisible—info, ideas, stories—can be made visible (and no, not as a block of text).

Want to work together or chat about visual storytelling? Shoot me a message at gabkdejesus@gmail.com
