Griffmobile Designs in the Sacramento Valley. Illustration, web design and murals for your baby, children, nursery, office, kitchen, home, business and more!

Being creative is something that comes very natural to me. My passion for art caused me to pursue a bachelor's degree in Illustration from San Jose State University. During the course of my studies, I developed a special affinity for creating wonderful characters and and whimsical designs. I incorporate my illustrations into everything I create, whether it's a publication, a mural, a card, an interactive media or a website.

After years of producing and selling my own line of greeting cards, I switched to licensing my work to greeting card and publishing companies. Some of my clients include Portal Publications, Renaissance Greeting Cards and Design Design.

Also, I began to expand my portfolio to include home murals. I try to create a unique design in each home I paint. I was recently featured in the Interiors section of the Sacramento Bee newspaper. See the article here.

For my web site designs and Flash interactives, I have collaborated and created projects for the University of California, the Graduate School of Journalism at UC Berkeley, Oceans Foundation, California Dept. of Fish and Game (http://seaotterresearch.org), Stanford University and University of California, Santa Cruz (http://topp.org), Yahoo! (http://www.greatturtlerace.com), Google, as well as privately owned businesses and corporations.

I am a Carnegie Fellow lecturer in the New Media program at the Graduate School of Journalism, UC Berkeley. I have worked on a series of marine life websites for the Stanford Hopkins Marine Station in Monterey. I created illustrations for the book, Prowling The Seas: Exploring the Hidden World of Ocean Predators, written by Pamela S. Turner and published by Walker Books for Young Readers (October 27, 2009).
