He has worked professionally as a graphic designer, illustrator, cartoonist, and independent craftsperson since 2006. He's illustrated multiple children's books, and tabletop role playing game supplements. In 2016, he began teaching Drawing, Watercolor, and Sketchbook Practice as an adult continuing education instructor at St. Louis Community College, until the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Jeffrey is a member of AIGA and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, actively writes and speaks about graphic design, professional practice, and art education. He lives in Quincy, IL, with his wife Kelly and their three adorable but fairly obnoxious corgis. He enjoys playing the banjo and ukulele--tho not at the same time-driving for coffee, and listening to audiobooks.
