Awards and Honors

Echo is recognized as an exceptional illustrator and educator

Awards & Honors Echo's numerous awards and honors include appearances on CBS and in Spectrum. She is also the coordinating Judge for Illustrators of the Future.

Individual awards are nice, but Echo believes that team awards like the Addy's and Ennies, are the true mark of a professional. Many artists can create beautiful artwork, but Echo's goal is to sell the product or service. The only opinion that matters is the marketplace.

This may be why Echo has developed expertise in so many styles over the years. Agencies and Art Directors have been so pleased with working with her, that regularly wins assignments even if she hasn't advertised herself with the requested specific illustration style.

Echo has been the illustrating contributor to award-winning campaigns and brand for over 20 years and is routinely featured on television, magazines, webcasts, podcasts, galleries, comic-cons, and more
