Sometimes I'm a gar, and sometimes I'm a person.

I am 25 living in Minneapolis, MN. I spend my days enjoying the small mundane things most people would just walk past. Things like little bugs, strange leaves, and more. This fascination with the tiny worlds is what inspires my illustration work. I graduated college with a BFA in Illustration and Arts Entrepreneurship, so I like to think of myself as an illustrator of sorts.

I love herbal teas, chicago mix popcorn, and coffee a little too much. My current not food faves are freshwater fish, bugs, meteorology, and my veggie garden. My dream car is a Subaru Baja, and I think about her daily. When I am feeling brave, I tattoo myself (with profesh stuff) or I go get a piercing or two.
