Illusion Tank is my design consultancy studio that I began in Los Angeles in 2003. In July 2011 I centrally relocated to Orange County California. My new location helps me have a personal relationship with all my clients across Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego by being more accessible. Additionally I also work with Clients in San Francisco under special arrangements.
If you are a prospective Client, I look forward to the pleasure of getting to know you and your brand needs.
