Bio


My real love for art began in 6th grade, when I realized that Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan art was something I could do. My personal work is heavily influenced by 90’s pop media, indie comics, and folk mythologies. I have loved physical crafting from a very young age, and often work it into my media art practice.

I love exploring the new possibilities that ever changing technologies and mediums provide, and have developed a wide range of styles and techniques over the years. I specialize in style development and analogue/digital media mixing. My flexibility in style and medium allows me to prioritize my dedication to story telling and the needs of a project.

Since 2017 I have worked for the BibleProject Animation Studio as a full time in-house 2D artist. In this role I have done Production Illustration, Storyboarding, Set Design, and Art Direction.

I have also maintained a personal practice and taken freelance work in animation, comics, and video game development. Recent clients include Rose City Games, First Second Comics, Candlewick Press, and Dreamworks.
