Parade Float Design

​In the past 25 years I have enjoyed working collaboratively with a group of talented artisans, designing parade floats for the grand floral parade in portland or., the tournament of roses in pasadena ca., the fiesta bowl parade in phoenix az. and the chinese new year parade in san francisco.  My personal goal has been to bring nature's beauty into the parade. my professional focus has been designing concept sketches, rendering color illustrations by hand and in photoshop, then producing the working scale drawings and models the fabricators use to build from.
