I’m a multidisciplinary artist and aspiring graphic novel author-illustrator. Raised in northern Michigan, I’ve always been a builder, a tinkerer, and someone who loves telling stories.For over a decade, I’ve worked in themed entertainment and stop-motion film, developing a strong foundation in visual storytelling through puppet fabrication, design, and illustration. Those years left lasting impressions and memories of wonderful people and experiences, which deeply influence and continue to shape how I build characters, worlds, and stories.My work is driven by a desire to tell stories that resonate with people. Stories about friendship, growing up, and finding your place. Whether through sequential art, zines, or children’s books, I’m always exploring how illustrations and words can come together to create something meaningful and lasting.Most recently, I relocated to Oregon, where I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside talented artists and craftspeople at the renowned animation studio Laika on their upcoming film, Wildwood. That experience continues to deepen my passion for storytelling and fuels my ongoing journey into the world of graphic novels.
