    I'm a freelance illustrator and writer with a background in comics. I've worked in publishing in the past but am looking to make a switch to illustrating and designing.

    I graduated from California College of the Arts in 2012 with a BA in Writing & Literature. I focused mostly on creating and studying comics as a serious form of storytelling. I'm currently a contributing artist for a couple of online art & lit magazines, proving illustrations to be paired with new short stories. I'd like to expand my horizon and find more design work.
