                                 I am an illustrator, cartoonist, and designer based in Chicago, IL. I am available for commercial freelance work and private commissions. If you would like to work together, please fill out the form below.

​

I am interested in capturing the sincerity, warmth, and playfulness of illustration. The projects that interest me most are rooted in character-driven narrative (editorial essays, short stories, comics, posters, storyboarding, character design, etc). I'm especially fond of stories that focus on off-beat characters (fictional or, not) that journey through the deeper magic behind human experiences. I also just like to draw pictures that catch the eye or make people happy, for no reason at all. 

​

Previous client list: Cicada (Cricket) Magazine, Tablet Magazine, The Lifted Brow, Perfectly Acceptable Press, Hoofprint Chicago, Newcity, Narrative.ly, Collective Arts Brewing, RBW Lighting, Northern Illinois Young Farmers.

​

My work has been featured by: The Society of Illustrators, The Comics Beat, Best American Comics (notable 2014, 2016), Jewish Book Council, It's Nice That, Roughouse Comics Anthology, Electrocomics.

​

Education: School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), BFA, 2013.
