My Art

My creative agency is of utmost importance.

In the past, this meant sketchnoting live at conferences, watercolor decks, and a Retro51 pen collab. My art has been featured nationwide.

Recently, stained glass broke a recent ~3 year creative block. (Do you get it?)

My Past

As for origin stories, my love for the web began with Xanga & Neopets. I went on to study HCI at CMU, where I also made indie games. Those experiences led me to my first internship at NASA.
