Biography

I'm a generalist because I love it all, an artist because I love creating worlds, and a person who will happily make you a new universe even if you do not ask.

Now for some quick funfacts:

I've gone to two art schools, one no longer exists (UARTS) and one I graduated from (SCAD). I dressed like a clown daily for all my years at one of these.

I've been illustrating professionally for 12ish years, running and writing ttrpg games and dnd games longer than that, and for the last two years I've been art director for a ttrpg podcast wherein we've had guests that range from a sentient otter baker to an adorable eldritch horror who wants to be everyone's friend (who I voice acted).

I've been doing the US convention circuit since about 2019, had a brief hiatus to finish a degree, and then went back full force selling dead things in resin charms I made which I would then craft into jewelry for people.

I have a collection of art books possibly greater than or equal to my collection of shoes and I shall leave it up to your imagination if that is impressive or not.
