Available to hire
I am a self-motivated creative, a personable collaborator, and a ravenous student focused on culturally cognizant illustration and design. I thrive on shaping visuals that honor diverse cultures and narratives, from graphic novels and instructional visuals to branding and character design. I love working with teams to translate concepts into compelling, accessible art and design that resonates with audiences across ages and contexts.
My work spans self-written graphic novels, instructional illustration for ministries, cover and concept design for youth fantasy and historical narratives, and ongoing personal projects like coloring pages and concept art studies. I’m proficient with Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and related tools, and I bring a collaborative, results-oriented approach to every project, whether remote or in-person.
