Digital illustration with a hand-drawn foundation

Illustration does something a photograph cannot. The machine sits isolated on white, lit evenly, every line reading clearly at any size, with nothing in the frame that you did not choose to put there. A vector drawing prints at 6 inches on a spec sheet or 6 feet on a trade show banner from the same file, and it stays accurate whether the equipment is in the yard, on a truck, or not yet built.

Every one of these started with learning the equipment: what the boom actually does, how the hose reel pays out, which silhouette a customer recognizes from across a lot. That understanding is what makes a drawing useful rather than decorative. The details that matter get the weight, the rest gets simplified, and the result reads instantly to someone who works around the machine every day.

The work spans product and equipment illustration, cutaways, conceptual diagrams, process art, and editorial pieces for manuals, parts catalogs, proposals, and advertising. Deliverables come as layered vector files built to scale cleanly, plus flattened versions sized for slides and the web, so the same illustration carries a brochure, a conference talk, and a website without being redrawn three times.
