Hey hey hey! I am an Illustrator, Concept artist, and studying Animator who has a passion for Character Design and telling stories. I am currently attending Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design to achieve my B.F.A in Illustration through the Animation Track.

Starting from somewhere, I am a self taught illustrator with a passion for Character Design and an obsession with high fantasy, starting humbly by drawing fan art of Nintendo characters from as early as 4 years old. I tend to lean heavily into my current interests when it comes to making art, with my specialties and preferences being fantasy character art, I have always had a love for the fantastical and the whimsical, which is what lead me to my biggest inspiration, Dungeons and Dragons. D&D has been my biggest hobby since discovering and playing in 2013, influencing what art I make and how I tend to draw and showcase my personal work. With this realization of my love of character design, shape language, and inflection, I came to realize how passionate I am for not only good character design, but passionate and focused design.

When I am not drawing a Knight, Pirate or Viking, you can find me playing TTRPG’s, Cooking food, or taking care of my multitude of Lizards.
