I am an environmental, religious, and fantasy illustrator and artist currently based in Utah. I graduated from BYU in 2024 with a degree in illustration and minor in environmental science where I had the chance to work on an educational environmental graphic novel for kids and the school's yearly video game. My capstone project was creating a dummy book based on an original climate change fairytale I titled “A Quest for Clean Magic”. Since graduating I have worked on a collaborative world wide published graphic novel teaching kids about church history, designed a token card for a deck building game, and am currently working on illustrating character cards for a board game. In general I love projects that allow me to learn something new and share that knowledge with others, be it about climate change or forgotten figures of history as well as projects full of fantasy, fun, and mystery. If I’m not doing art I love to play video games, read, learn about and support local environmental groups, visit museums or national parks, travel, and laugh with family and friends.…
