ABOUT
I grew up in an artistic household. My dad was an illustrator, and early on I developed an obsession with art and stories, which has become a lifelong passion.
Currently, I am focusing on narrative illustration and storytelling. As a queer and trans artist, many of my works are comics centered around positive LGBT representation. In creating work celebrating trans and queer people, I hope to make members of our communities feel seen as well as foster understanding and allyship for those outside of the LGBT community.
​
I live and work just outside of Boston, and received my BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I explored many different types of media, including
