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

I love working with the flat and colorful minimalism of vectors, and pushing them to share complex ideas and familiar experiences.

Since 2010, I’ve freelanced across a range of industries in a variety of roles. I particularly enjoy helping small teams think through a broader 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.

I’m always looking for a fresh puzzle to solve. Let’s collaborate!
