About
There is a level of experience that shows in the work that I produce. The level of professionalism is apparent in the look and grasp of the technical aspects of the creative work that i have produced for clients.
I love the ability to give a look and identity that did not exist before I created it. It gives me a sense of accomplishment to drive along the highway and see a logo that I have created used on a billboard, or a client advertising a book that I designed for them.

We hired Thaddeus as a caricature artist for our wedding, and he was an absolute hit!
Our guests LOVED him—he had a line all night, and it was so fun to see everyone excited to get their portraits done. He worked efficiently while still making each drawing feel special, and he made sure to get through as many guests as possible, which we really appreciated.
Beyond his talent, he was incredibly kind, personable, and just such a cool guy to have at our event. He added such a unique and memorable touch to our wedding.
If you’re looking for something fun and interactive for your event, I truly cannot recommend Thaddeus enough!

Thaddeus is amazing. I had my engagement party with around 35 guests. We used him for 3 hours and my guests could not get enough of him. Thaddeus was an amazing addition to our event and great to work with. He is extremely responsive and punctual and respectful. 10/10 we love him.

Thaddeus was awesome to work with! He got to the party on time to set up and everyone loved his work! I would say allot 5 minutes per person. It was a great addition to my boys birthday party. Definitely give him a try!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I give estimates on projects based on previous time spent on similar projects. One thing that may result in an adjustment in cost is multiple rounds of design proofs (e.g. more than three rounds on a logo design).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After an initial round of messaging through Thumbtack, I prefer to call the customer or have them call me to get further into the specifics of a job. If needed, I can travel to the client to meet for more discussion and collaboration on their needed project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am self taught in all of the programs that I use in my field. To stay abreast of the latest developments, I do research and buy or upgrade software to give my clients a wider range of options in terms of producing their projects. I'm also experienced in traditional media (i.e. pencil and ink work, painting, pastels, etc.).
