I grew up in small-town Ohio where I was one of the only kids I knew looking to make a career from art. If my town was known for anything, it was either football or farming- so you can guess how much I fit in. 

​

My main goal as an illustrator is to help people tell their story through effective visuals- my goal as a storyteller, however, is to tell stories that connect people in the way I had needed as a kid.

​

Additionally, I am a private teacher! My job is to help young artists fall in love with their craft.
