Hello! I'm an illustrator, designer, and educator freelancing in the Hudson Valley.

Everything I do revolves around illustration. My work focuses on the flat and colorful minimalism of vectors, and how they can be used to communicate complex ideas and familiar experiences.

Since 2010, I’ve freelanced across a range of industries in a variety of roles. I particularly enjoy bringing that experience to small businesses looking to develop an illustration strategy.

I’m the founder of Armadillo, an artist-run licensing platform launching soon. Past side projects include Queer Portraits in History and the film blog Criterion Affection. I’m a notorious defender of Corporate Memphis, and a devoted student of pop culture.

Let’s collaborate!
