Hi, I’m an illustrator and designer from San Francisco, currently living in Brooklyn, NY, pursuing a MFA in illustration from the School of Visual Arts.

As a visual communicator, my job is to find something interesting to say, or say something in an interesting way. Or both, if I'm lucky.

I work across digital and traditional mediums, and across visual styles, choosing what best supports the message. My process consists of finding and connecting unexpected ideas to tell a compelling story. What inspires me are the 'ah-ha' moments, when seemingly random dots emerge to reveal a bigger picture.

I try to replicate this feeling of discovery and serendipity in my work.
