I Graduated from Depaul University in 2015 with a BFA in Graphic Design and an emphasis on Illustration. With my licensing background, I am attracted to positive companies, characters, and the messages that they send. I believe that even the most complex problem can have a fun, yet practical solution.
While I practice “Leave no trace” on my visits to nature preserves, when I work with companies and clients, I prefer the saying “Leave it better than you found it.” I do not design just to make beautiful graphics. I enjoy improving the communities that I am a part of to the greatest of my abilities, and I find my work the most fulfilling when my designs leave a positive mark. I strive for all of my work to be accessible and inclusive for all walks of life.
Other things I’m passionate about include hiking, gaming, horror movies, and all things nature. When I’m not drawing animals in dark forests, you can find me blogging about folklore and managing a community on social media under the #WyrdWednesday hashtag. I am currently freelancing in the Chicagoland area with my two rescue pets.
