I tell stories through images, using humor and cartooning to bring ideas to life. I’ve worked on cover art, editorial illustrations, and a range of commissions for publications and agencies. My passion centers on comic art and world-building, with an eye for kinetic pages, clear storytelling, and detailed, readable design. I also enjoy branding work, avatar creation, logo and packaging design, and contributing to games and horror projects.
