About

I’m an illustrator and animator with a background in medical-themed weekly cartoons, digital illustration, and 2D animation. I have a BFA in Illustration and double minored in animation and sequential arts. A deep love of fantasy motivates my work, and I strive to mix the magic with the mundane.

Alongside my illustration work, I’ve supported customer-facing roles where I recommend products, manage busy shifts, and collaborate with teams to keep experiences smooth and welcoming. I also have experience creating and organizing art activities for kids, preparing supplies, and producing engaging content for social media to support businesses.
