I own and run Pixelogy Arts, a creative high-end post-production studio that provides image compositing and retouching services for photographers, ad agencies, design firms and creative professionals. I officially launched Pixelogy Arts in December of 2012 and am currently in the joyful process of marketing and finding work, which all creatives know is the best part of being an artist!
